Drivers and Software
Files and Directories Installed on Your Hard Drive
Your hard drive includes a directory called
images
in its root that
contains software and soft copies of manuals for the peripherals. The
directory structure under the
images
directory is logically organized into
several levels.
In the
images
directory, you will find a
manuals
directory,
an
os
directory, and directories for each computer peripheral.
The
manuals
directory contains quick reference guides, technical
reference manuals, and National Instruments software manuals, all in
Adobe Acrobat format. To access any manual, change your directory to
c:\images\ni8351\manuals
and list the contents of that directory. You
will see several files, one corresponding to each peripheral.
The
os
directory contains a subdirectory corresponding to the operating
system installed on your computer.
The rest of the directories correspond to each peripheral in your system.
Within these directories are the peripheral drivers. These files and
directories are copied exactly from the manufacturer distribution disks, so
the naming conventions vary from peripheral to peripheral.
