Installation and Configuration
This chapter explains how to install and configure your 6023E, 6024E,
or 6025E device.
Software Installation
Install your software before installing your device.
If you are using LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, ComponentWorks, or
VirtualBench, install this software before installing the NI-DAQ driver
software. Refer to the software release notes of your software for
installation instructions.
If you are using NI-DAQ, refer to your NI-DAQ release notes. Find
the installation section for your operating system and follow the
instructions given there.
Unpacking
Your device is shipped in an antistatic package to prevent electrostatic
damage to the device. Electrostatic discharge can damage several
components on the device. To avoid such damage in handling the device,
take the following precautions:
• Ground yourself by using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded
object.
• Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of your computer chassis
before removing the device from the package.
• Remove the device from the package and inspect the device for
loose components or any other sign of damage. Notify National
Instruments if the device appears damaged in any way. Do not install
a damaged device into your computer.
Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
