Note
The IMAQ PCI/PXI-1407 relies on your computer’s PCI interface chipset for the
highest throughput to system memory. For the best results, your computer should have a
Pentium or better processor and an Intel 430 or 440 series or compatible PCI interface
chipset.
Optional Equipment
National Instruments offers a variety of products for use with your
PCI/PXI-1407, including other National Instruments DAQ devices
for enhanced triggering, timing, or input/output.
For more specific information about these products, refer to your National
Instruments catalogue or Web site, or call the office nearest you.
How to Set up Your IMAQ System
Use Figure 2-1 as a guide while you install your software and hardware,
configure your hardware, and begin using NI-IMAQ in your application
programs.
Follow the instructions in the Getting Started with Your IMAQ System
document to install your NI-IMAQ software and IMAQ hardware.
If you will be accessing the NI-IMAQ device drivers through LabVIEW
