Installation
This chapter explains how to install the MXI-3 software and hardware.
Software Installation
Your MXI-3 kit includes a setup program for Microsoft Windows
operating systems. The setup program works in the same manner for
Windows 2000/NT4/9x. Users of other operating systems can ignore this
section.
Note The software included for Microsoft Windows is provided so that the performance
of National Instruments PXI modules is optimized across a PCI-PCI bridge. The software
does not affect PXI or CompactPCI modules from other vendors.
The setup program is an interactive application that installs the MXI-3
software and configures your system for use with the MXI-3 card. Follow
these steps to perform the installation.
Note You can quit the setup program at any time by choosing the Cancel option.
1. Insert the disk labeled MXI-3 Software for Windows 2000/NT4/9x.
2. Select Run from the Start menu and type the following text (where X
is the drive letter of your floppy drive):
X:\setup.exe
3. Press <Enter>.
4. Click on the Next button at the Welcome screen to start the
installation. You must accept the license agreement to enable
installation.
5. The setup program now copies the necessary files to your hard drive.
When the installation process is complete, you must reboot your
computer for the changes to take effect.
6. Review the information in the README.TXT file for the most
up-to-date information on your MXI-3 interface.
