Software Installation

Note The software included for Microsoft Windows is provided so that the performance
of National Instruments PXI modules is optimized across a PCI-PCI bridge. The MXI-3
interface is completely functional without this additional software. The software does not
affect PXI or CompactPCI modules from other vendors.
Note You can quit the setup program at any time by choosing the Cancel option.

2. Select Run from the Start menu and type the following text (where
is the drive letter of your floppy drive):
X :\setup.exe
3. Press <Enter>.
4. Click on the Next button at the Welcome screen to start the
installation. You must accept the license agreement to enable
installation.
5. The setup program now copies the necessary files to your hard drive.
When the installation process is complete, you must reboot your
computer for the changes to take effect.
6. Review the information in the
up-to-date information on your MXI-3 card.
