Introduction
This chapter helps you install the Measure Data Acquisition (DAQ)
Add-In. You should have installed and configured your DAQ hardware
already. If you have not done so, please refer to the NI-DAQ User
Manual for PC Compatibles that came with your device for
instructions on installation and configuration.

Using Measure with Your DAQ Device

Measure is designed to work with many different National Instruments
DAQ devices. Before you can use Measure, you must install and
configure your DAQ device and the NI-DAQ driver software that came
with your DAQ device. NI-DAQ is the low-level driver software that
controls your DAQ device. Measure is a higher-level software
development tool that communicates to your DAQ device through
NI-DAQ. Refer to the documentation that comes with your DAQ
device to learn how to install it properly.
Once you install your DAQ device, you must install and configure your
NI-DAQ driver software.
You use the NI-DAQ Configuration Utility (WDAQCONF.EXE) to set
up your DAQ device. For some DAQ devices, such as the E Series
boards, you do not have to configure many settings. For other devices,
you might be required to set jumpers or switches on your device to
configure it to work in your system. Refer to the documentation that
came with your DAQ device to install your NI-DAQ driver software
and run WDAQCONF.EXE.
