Software Requirements
Install NI-DAQmx 9.5 or later on the calibration computer. NI-DAQmx includes high-level
function calls to simplify the task of writing software to calibrate modules. You must have the
proper module driver installed on the calibration system before calibrating the module.
Note NI recommends that you install the NI-DAQmx driver software before
physically installing the NI PXIe-4357. NI-DAQmx, available at
ni.com/
downloads
, configures and controls the NI PXIe-4357.
NI-DAQmx supports a number of programming languages, including LabVIEW,
LabWindows
™
/CVI
