Configuration and Installation
This chapter describes how to configure and install the National
Instruments PXI/PCI-7350 controller.

Software Installation

Before installing the NI 7350 controller, install the NI-Motion software
and, if appropriate, the NI-Motion VI libraries. For specific installation
instructions, refer to Getting Started with NI-Motion for NI 73xx Motion
Controllers, which is installed in the NI-Motion/Documentation folder
where you installed NI-Motion. The default directory is Program Files\
National Instruments\NI-Motion.
Note If you do not install the NI-Motion driver software before attempting to use the
NI73 50, the system will not recognize the NI 7350 and you will be unable to configure or
use the controller.

Controller Configuration

Because the motion I/O-related configuration of NI 7350 controller is
performed entirely with software, it is not necessary to set jumpers
for motion I/O configuration.
The PXI-7350 and PCI-7350 controllers are fully compatible with the
industry standard PXI Specification, Revision 2.1 and the PCILocal Bus
Specification, Revision 2.2, respectively. This compatibility allows you
to configure the computer toaut omatically perform all bus-related
configuration without user interaction. Itis not necessary to configure
jumpers for bus-related configuration.
Note When adding or removing a controller from a Windows 2000/XP system, you must
be logged on with administrator-level access. After you have restarted the system, you may
need to refresh Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to view the new controller.
