Software Installation

If you are using NI-DAQ, refer to your NI-DAQ release notes to install

your driver software. Find the installation section for your operating

system and follow the instructions given there.

If you are using LabVIEW, refer to your LabVIEW release notes to

install your application software. After you have installed LabVIEW,

refer to the NI-DAQ release notes and follow the instructions given

there for your operating system and LabVIEW.

If you are using LabWindows/CVI, refer to your LabWindows/CVI

release notes to install your application software. After you have

installed LabWindows/CVI, refer to the NI-DAQ release notes and

follow the instructions given there for your operating system and

LabWindows/CVI.

If you are a register-level programmer, refer to Appendix D

, Register-

Level Programming,

for software configuration information

.

Board Configuration

Plug and Play

The PC-LPM-16PnP is fully compatible with the industry-standard

Intel/Microsoft Plug and Play Specification version 1.0a. A Plug and

Play system arbitrates and assigns resources through software, freeing

you from manually setting switches and jumpers. These resources

include the board base I/O address and interrupt channels. Each

PC-LPM-16PnP is configured at the factory to request these resources

from the Plug and Play Configuration Manager.

The Configuration Manager receives all of the resource requests at

startup, compares the available resources to those requested, and

assigns the available resources as efficiently as possible to the Plug and

Play boards. Application software can query the Configuration

Manager to determine the resources assigned to each board without

your involvement. The Plug and Play software is installed as a device

driver or as an integral component of the computer BIOS.
