Software Installation
Regardless of your programming methodology, proper operation of
your VXI-MIO module depends on the correct installation of VISA on
your VXIbus controller.
If VISA is not installed, you must get this information from your
VXIbus controller manufacturer. If you have a National Instruments
VXIbus controller, contact our sales department for information on
obtaining the NI-VISA software at no charge.
If you are using NI-DAQ, refer to your release notes. Find the
installation section for your operating system and follow the
instructions given there.
If you are using LabVIEW, refer to your LabVIEW release notes to
install your application software. After you have installed LabVIEW,
refer to the NI-DAQ release notes and follow the instructions given
there for your operating system and LabVIEW.
