Once the device has been detected, the NI USB-TC01 launch screen will open, as shown in
Figure 3, or a Windows Autoplay dialog will appear allowing you to select
TC01Launcher.exe to run the software.
Note You must connect the NI USB-TC01 to the computer for the launch screen to
open. If the NI USB-TC01 is connected to the computer and the launch screen does
