National Instruments 600 C

National Instruments Corporation C-1 VXI/VMEpc 600 Series for Windows 95/NT

This appendix contains the instructions on how to reinstall your

NI-VXI/VISA software. Your VXI/VMEpc 600 Series controller was

shipped with the NI-VXI/VISA software already installed. It is unlikely

that you will ever need to use these instructions.

Use the Setup program that came with your NI-VXI/VISA software to

install the entire software package or a software update, or to reinstall

software in the event that your files were accidentally erased. The Setu p

program works in the same manner for either Windows 95 or

Windows NT. You can install NI-VXI with or without NI-VISA.

Note Some of the utilities rely on the LabWindows/CVI Run-Time Engine. This

software is installed, if necessary, during the NI-VXI/VISA installation.

Depending on the type of installation you choose, you may need up

to 20 MB of free space available to accommodate the NI-VXI/VISA

software. If you choose the Custom installation method, Setup displays

the amount of memory required for the options you select.

To be compliant with VXIplug&play specifications, a VXI controller

must provide the VISA I/O driver library standardized by

VXIplug&play. VISA ensures that your controller can run all

VXIplug&play-compatible software now and in the future.

The NI-VISA software in this kit is compatible with the

WIN95/GWIN95 and WINNT/GWINNT frameworks. With NI-VISA

installed on your computer, you can run any VXIplug&play software

that is compatible with these frameworks. This includes instrument

drivers and executable soft front panels that are included with

VXIplug&play-compatible instruments from a variety of vendors.
