Getting Started with the NI 7831R

Installing Software

The following instructions describe how to install the NI-RIO device 
drivers and LabVIEW.

Installing LabVIEW, the LabVIEW Real-Time Module for ETS, and the 
LabVIEW FPGA Module

Use the following sequence when installing LabVIEW, the LabVIEW 
Real-Time Module, and the LabVIEW FPGA Module. For more detailed 
information about software requirements, refer to the 

LabVIEW FPGA 

Release Notes

.

If you are using NI-RIO without LabVIEW, skip these steps and complete 
the steps in th

Installing NI-RIO Device Drivers

 section.

Note

You must install LabVIEW (version 7.1 or later for PCI, and version 7.0 or later for 

PXI) and the LabVIEW modules you will use with the NI 7831R 

before

 installing the 

NI-RIO device drivers. For LabVIEW installation instructions, refer to the

 LabVIEW 

Release Notes

.

1.

Install LabVIEW for Windows from the LabVIEW CD.

2.

If you are using the LabVIEW Real-Time Module for ETS, install 
the LabVIEW Real-Time Module for ETS from the LabVIEW 
Real-Time CD.

If you are using the PCI-7831R device with the LabVIEW Real-Time 
Module for RTX, install the LabVIEW Real-Time module for RTX 
from the LabVIEW Real-Time CD.

Note

If you are using the NI 7831R with Windows only, it is not necessary to install the 

LabVIEW Real-Time Module.

3.

Install LabVIEW FPGA from the LabVIEW FPGA CD.

4.

Install the NI-RIO device drivers. Refer to the 

Installing NI-RIO 

Device Drivers

 section for driver installation instructions.
