Step 3. Configure Your Software
Note:
If you are using a plug-in DAQ board, and have not installed and configured the board, you
should do so now. Refer to your hardware user manual for instructions.
To configure your sytem software, first make sure that you have installed NI-DAQ software. Refer to your
NI-DAQ manual for detailed installation instructions.
After you install NI-DAQ software, run either wdaqconf.exe for Windows or NI-DAQ Utilities for Mac OS; then
configure your DAQ board and SCXI chassis. The following figures show configuration settings for Windows.
Run the appropriate configuration utility, selecting the parameters shown below. The following figures include
an AT-MIO-16E-2; your device may differ.
