Software Installation
Install your software before you install your PCI-MIO E Series board.
Refer to the appropriate release notes indicated below for specific

If you are using NI-DAQ, refer to your NI-DAQ release notes. Find the

instructions given there.
If you are using LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, or other National
Instruments application software packages, refer to the appropriate
release notes. After you have installed your application software, refer
to your NI-DAQ release notes and follow the instructions given there
for your operating system and application software package.

Register-Level Programmer Manual and the DAQ-STC Technical
Reference Manual for software configuration information.
Hardware Installation
You can install a PCI-MIO E Series board in any available expansion
slot in your computer. However, to achieve best noise performance,
leave as much room as possible between the PCI-MIO E Series board
and other boards and hardware. The following are general installation
instructions, but consult your computer user manual or technical
reference manual for specific instructions and warnings.
