Installing Software - National Instruments 7831R Getting Started

Installing Software

Installing LabVIEW, the LabVIEW Real-Time Module for ETS, and the
LabVIEW FPGA Module
Note You must install LabVIEW (version 7.1 or later for PCI, and version 7.0 or later for
PXI) and the LabVIEW modules you will use with the NI 7831R before installing the
NI-RIO device drivers. For LabVIEW installation instructions, refer to the LabVIEW
Release Notes.
If you are using the NI 7831R with Windows only, it is not necessary to install the
Note

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, 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. If you are using the LabVIEW Real-Time Module for ETS, install
the LabVIEW Real-Time Module for ETS from the LabVIEW
Real-Time CD.
If you are using the PCI-7831R device with the LabVIEW Real-Time
Module for RTX, install the LabVIEW Real-Time module for RTX
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.
