If you execute the LabVIEW Driver Installer, the PXI device driver is installed by
default.
If you execute the LabWindows/CVI driver installer, the installer creates a
subdirectory named “Windows Driver” inside the directory selected for installation.
By default, on a 64-bit operating system, this directory will be:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IVI Foundation\VISA\WinNT\ri3352e
On a 32-bit operating system, the default would be:
C:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\VISA\WinNT\ri3352e
To install the PXI device driver:
1. Use the Windows explorer to navigate to the “Windows Driver” subdirectory.
2. Right-mouse click on the file “ri3352e.inf”.
3. Select “Install”.
Installing the LabVIEW instrument driver

2. Navigate to the “Drivers” folder on the install media.
3. Navigate to the LabVIEW Driver folder.
4. Double-click on the file “setup.exe”.
5. The driver installer will provide you with a choice for a standard or customer
installation.
a. The standard installation will install the Windows PXI device driver for the
3352e. It will also install the driver for the version(s) of LabVIEW that is
currently installed on your computer.
b. The customer installation allows you to select which version(s) of LabVIEW
for which the driver will be installed. If you are running a version of
LabVIEW that is not supported by the installer, you can select an older
version of driver to use. For example, if you are running LabVIEW 2013,
you can install the LabVIEW 2011 version and let LabVIEW re-compile the
driver when it is first used.
6. The driver installer creates a directory “Astronics ri3352e” within the “instr.lib”
subdirectory of the version of LabVIEW you are using.
