cRIO-9052 Operating Instructions
Driver Software
Refer to the following sections for information about installing driver
software for the applicable hardware devices.
NI PXI-8310 and NI PCI-8310
If you are using the NI PXI-8310 or NI PCI-8310, it is not necessary to
install any driver software for these devices. When you install the hardware
devices, Windows will recognize three new devices. The reconfigurable
chassis will be listed as the cRIO-91
xx
, and the cRIO-9052 and NI 8310
will each be listed as
Other PCI Bridge
. Windows will prompt you to
install drivers for all three of these devices. Install the cRIO-91
xx
driver and
cancel the driver installation for the cRIO-9052 and the NI 8310.
To prevent being prompted to install drivers every time you boot the
Windows system, National Instruments recommends that you disable both
of the
Other PCI Bridge
devices in the Windows device manager. The
NI 8310 and the cRIO-9052 will continue to operate normally after you
disable both of the
Other PCI Bridge
devices.
Note
Installing the NI-CardBus-8310 driver software for use with the NI PXI-8310 and/or
the NI PCI-8310 may cause improper operation.
Tip
If you are using the NI 8310 with a host that is running the LabVIEW Real-Time
Module, you will not be prompted to install any driver software.
NI CardBus-8310
If you are using the NI CardBus-8310, you must install the
NI-CardBus-8310 driver software before you install the NI CardBus-8310.
Refer to the
NI CardBus-8310-to-PXI Expansion User Manual
information
about installing the NI-CardBus-8310 driver software.
