  3. (Recommended) Install NI LabVIEW FPGA Module.
    Refer to the LabVIEW FPGA Module Release and Upgrade Notes for installation instructions and information about getting started with the LabVIEW FPGA Module.
    Note Installation of the LabVIEW FPGA Module is required to customize the behavior of the device FPGA if you are using the instrument design libraries.
  4. (Recommended) Install the latest service pack for LabVIEW and any LabVIEW modules you are using.
  5. Insert the driver software DVD into the DVD drive.

    The driver software installer should open automatically. If the installation window does not appear, navigate to the DVD drive, double-click the drive, and double-click autorun.exe.
