PXI-GPIB/PMC-GPIB for Windows NT
Install the GPIB Software
After you have installed and configured your GPIB hardware, you are
ready to install the GPIB software. Complete the following steps to run the
software installation program:
1.
Log onto your Windows NT system using the
Administrator
account. The GPIB setup program must have
Administrator
privileges because the program modifies the configuration registry of
your system.
2.
Insert the GPIB Software for Windows NT (Disk 1 of 2) into an unused
drive.
3.
Select Run... from the Start menu.
4.
Type the following command in the dialog box:
x:\setup
where
x
is the letter of the drive containing the distribution disk
(usually
a
or
b
).
The software installation begins with the dialog box shown in
Figure 2-3. Although the PXI-GPIB and PMC-GPIB are not listed in
this dialog box, they are compatible with the PCI-GPIB.
