Where to Start with the NI PXI-7831R

LabVIEW FPGA Module version 7.0 or later (required only if you 
are developing custom FPGA VIs for the RIO device)

LabVIEW Real-Time Module version 7.0 or later

PXI/CompactPCI chassis and real-time PXI controller

One of the following host computers, depending upon your 
application, running Windows 2000/XP:

PC

Laptop computer

PXI/CompactPCI embedded controller

At least one cable and terminal block for connecting signals to the 
NI PXI-7831R

Category 5 (Cat-5) crossover cable (if the real-time PXI system is not 
configured on a network); you need a regular network cable if you are 
configured on a network

The following documents are included on the NI Device Drivers CD 
and are also available at
