The rest of the directories correspond to each peripheral in your system.
Within each of these directories are the drivers for the peripherals. These
files and directories are copied exactly from the manufacturer distribution
disks, so the naming conventions vary from peripheral to peripheral. You
can find copies of these peripheral drivers on the VXI support page at
ni.com .
Because the naming conventions may not be completely straightforward,
National Instruments provides a text file named
drivers.txt in the
c:\images directory. The drivers.txt file explains how to install
support for each peripheral. You may want to print this file for reference
when you install your peripheral device drivers.
How do I install or reinstall the video driver?
Refer to the Drivers.txt file on the hard drive or recovery CD-ROM.
How do I install or reinstall the Ethernet driver?
Refer to the Drivers.txt file on the hard drive or recovery CD-ROM.
How do I install or reinstall the GPIB driver?
1. The best way to set up GPIB is to set up networking on your controller
so you can access
ni.com to download the latest drivers. You can
access both drivers by going to the current Drivers and Updates page.
2. After these drivers are installed, go into the Device Manager in
the System Properties window, delete the PCI Bridge and PCI
Communication Device entries under Other Devices, and reboot the
controller.
3. When the controller reboots, it correctly finds and installs the proper
drivers for the GPIB adapter.
How do I install or reinstall the VXI and VISA drivers?
The best way to install NI-VXI and NI-VISA is to set up networking on
your controller so you can access
ni.com to download the latest drivers
that support your controller. If you cannot access the network, copies of
these drivers should be available in the
Images directory on your hard
drive.
After you obtain these drivers, uninstall any old versions of NI-VXI or
NI-VISA and follow the installation instructions downloaded or included
with the driver you want to install.
