NI Motion Controller Configuration and Installation
Caution
Before installing the NI 7330/7340/7350 motion controller refer to the
user manual appropriate to your controller for safety and specification information.
Failure to follow safety instructions may result in damage to equipment.
Step 1: Install NI-Motion
You must install the NI-Motion driver software
before
installing an NI motion controller for the
first time. If you are upgrading from a previous version of NI-Motion, it is not necessary to
remove the NI motion controller before installing the upgrade. The upgrade does not affect the
existing Microsoft Windows configuration.
Note
If you are using a Real-Time OS, install LabVIEW Real-Time on the
development computer before installing NI-Motion so that the RT support files
install.
Complete the following steps to install the NI-Motion driver software:
1.
Insert the NI-Motion CD into the CD-ROM drive to display the NI-Motion installation
screen, or download the latest version from
ni.com/downloads
.
2.
If you have autorun enabled,
autorun.exe
runs automatically. Otherwise, double-click
autorun.exe
.
3.
Follow the onscreen instructions.
Note
You must update the firmware on your NI motion controller(s) before you can
use them with the corresponding version of NI-Motion. Refer to
Firmware on the Motion Controller
Software Installation and Configuration
section for detailed instructions.
