Installing Software; Labview Fpga Module - National Instruments Network Device NI PXI-7811R Quick Start Manual

Installing Software

Installing LabVIEW, the LabVIEW Real-Time Module for ETS, and the

LabVIEW FPGA Module

Note You must install LabVIEW 7.0 or later and the LabVIEW modules you will be using
with the NI 7811R before installing the NI-RIO device drivers. For LabVIEW installation
instructions, refer to the LabVIEW Release Notes.

– LabVIEW FPGA Module 1.1 or later—required to develop
custom FPGA VIs for the PXI-7811R device
– NI-RIO 1.1 or later—included with the PXI-7811R
❑
PXI/CompactPCI chassis and real-time PXI controller
❑
One of the following host computers, depending upon your
application, running Windows 2000/XP:
– PC
– Laptop computer
– PXI/CompactPCI embedded controller
❑
At least one cable and device for connecting signals to the PXI-7811R
❑
CAT 5 Ethernet crossover cable if the real-time PXI system is not
configured on a network. To connect the PXI system to a network port,
use a standard CAT 5 10/100Base-T Ethernet cable.
The following instructions describe how to install the NI-RIO device
drivers and LabVIEW.
Use the following sequence when installing LabVIEW, the LabVIEW
Real-Time Module for ETS, and the LabVIEW FPGA Module. For more
detailed information about software requirements, refer to the LabVIEW
FPGA Release Notes.
If you are using NI-RIO without LabVIEW, skip these steps and complete
the steps in the Installing NI-RIO Device Drivers
1. Install LabVIEW for Windows from the LabVIEW CD.
2. Install the LabVIEW Real-Time Module for ETS from the LabVIEW
Real-Time CD.
3. Install LabVIEW FPGA from the LabVIEW FPGA CD.
4. Install the NI-RIO device drivers. Refer to the
Device Drivers section for driver installation instructions.
