Installation and Configuration
This chapter describes how to install and configure the SCXI-1104/C
module. The SCXI-1104/C is a jumperless module and requires no user
modifications. There is no need for the user to remove the module cover.
Note
The SCXI-1104/C does not support ribbon-cabled multichassis SCXI systems. You
must use the SCXI-1346 multichassis adapter in a multichassis system.
Installing the Software
You can control the SCXI-1104/C in an application development
environment (ADE) using the NI-DAQ data acquisition device driver
software. The supported ADEs include LabVIEW, BridgeVIEW,
LabWindows/CVI, Visual Basic (ComponentWorks), C, and C++
environments. You can also use the SCXI-1104/C in conjunction with
VirtualBench and Measure. The following instructions describe the order
for installing the software for your SCXI-1104/C:
1.
Install your ADE if you have not already done so. National Instruments
ADEs have release notes containing software installation instructions.
2.
Install the appropriate version of NI-DAQ software. NI-DAQ version
6.5.1 or higher is required to configure and program your SCXI-1104
module. NI-DAQ version 6.7 or higher is required to configure and
program your SCXI-1104C module. If you do not have the correct
NI-DAQ version, you can either contact a National Instruments sales
representative or download the latest NI-DAQ version from the
National Instruments Web site,
www.ni.com
, for information on getting the latest version of
NI-DAQ.
a.
If you have the required version of NI-DAQ, insert your National
Instruments NI-DAQ software CD into the CD-ROM drive.
b.
Click on the Install NI-DAQ Software option in the installation
window. The installer guides you through the rest of the
installation process.
