Installing SCXI Modules and
Connecting the SCXI System
to the DAQ Device
This chapter describes how to install your SCXI hardware and how to
connect your SCXI system to your computer.
Installing Your Software
All SCXI system configurations require NI-DAQ software. Whether
you are using LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, ComponentWorks, or a
third-party compiler, you must install the NI-DAQ driver software and
Measurement & Automation Explorer to use your DAQ/SCXI system.
1. You receive NI-DAQ software with your DAQ device, SCXI-1200,
SCXI-2400, or SCXI-2000.
• If you are using LabWindows/CVI,install LabWindows/CVI first.
Next,install NI-DAQ for PC compatibles and run the setup option,
then select the LabWindows/CVI option to install
LabWindows/CVI DAQ support.
• LabVIEW includes all the NI-DAQ files you need to control the
SCXI system. However, NI-DAQ for PC compatibles also has
a LabVIEW update option that installs newer driver files in
your system when the installation utility detects older files on
your hard disk.
2. If you already have installed Measurement & Automation Explorer
and the driver software and you received a newer NI-DAQ version,
install the newer version now.
