2. Open Windows Explorer.
3. Access the CD-ROM drive.
4. Double-click on autorun.exe to launch the software interface.
5. Start the installation. The installation program guides you through the

Within the Devices & Interfaces branch of the MAX Configuration
tree, NI CAN hardware is listed along with other hardware in the local
computer system. If the CAN hardware is not listed here, MAX is not
