Note
NI-HSDIO 1.5 and later also includes NI LabVIEW
SignalExpress LE, an interactive software environment that allows
you to choose from the included NI-HSDIO express steps to
quickly program common applications, including acquisition,
generation, and hardware comparison (real-time hardware
comparison is supported only on NI 655
x
devices).
To install NI-HSDIO, complete the following steps:
1. Insert the first CD of the NI-HSDIO CD set. The NI-HSDIO installer
should open automatically. If not, select

NI Script Editor
The NI Script Editor is included on the NI-HSDIO CDs and is installed when
you install the driver. The NI Script Editor provides an intuitive interface to
help you develop linking and looping waveform generation operations.
NI Script Editor Help
contains more information about the NI Script Editor.
You can access
NI Script Editor Help
by launching the NI Script Editor and
selecting
Help»NI Script Editor Help
from the toolbar.
(Optional) Install the NI Digital Waveform Editor
The NI Digital Waveform Editor (DWE) is included with the higher-memory
versions of NI digital waveform generator/analyzers
and also can be
purchased separately at
ni.com
. The NI DWE allows you to easily import
data from popular third-party electronic design automation (EDA) programs,
create your own waveforms, edit these waveforms, and view acquired
waveforms.
If you are using the NI DWE, install it after you install NI-HSDIO.
