Installation Guide
This document explains how to install and configure your VXI-8340 series
controller.
Installing the Software
Use the Setup program that came with your NI-VISA/NI-VXI software to install
the entire software package or a software update, or to reinstall software in the
event that your files are accidentally erased.
Some of the utilities rely on the LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Engine.
This software is installed, if necessary, during the NI-VISA/NI-VXI installation.
To be compliant with VXI
plug&play
specifications, a VXI controller must
provide the VISA I/O driver library standardized by VXI
plug&play
. VISA ensures
that your controller can run all VXI
plug&play
-compatible software now and in the
future.
