Ni 6581 Clip; Installing The Application Software And Driver - National Instruments NI 6581 Getting Started Manual

User-Defined
CLIP
CLIP Socket
The NI 6581/6581B ships with socketed CLIP items that add module I/O to the LabVIEW
project.

NI 6581 CLIP

This CLIP provides read/write access to all digital I/O (DIO) channels using a single channel-
based interface. Each grouping of eight I/O channels has a write enable signal. In the
LabVIEW FPGA Module, each DIO channel is accessed using a Boolean signal.

Installing the Application Software and Driver

Before installing your hardware, you must install the application software and instrument
driver. Visit ni.com/info
which minimum software versions you need for your device. Install the software in the
following order:
1. Install LabVIEW.
Refer to the LabVIEW Installation Guide for installation instructions for LabVIEW and
system requirements for the LabVIEW software. Refer to the LabVIEW Upgrade Notes
for additional information about upgrading to the most recent version of LabVIEW for
Windows. Documentation for LabVIEW is available at
Start»All Programs»National Instruments»LabVIEW»LabVIEW Manuals.
