Installing the Software

You must be an Administrator to install NI software on your computer.

  1. Install an ADE, such as LabVIEW or LabWindows™/CVI™.
  2. Download the driver software installer from ni.com/downloads.
    Package Manager downloads with the driver software to handle the installation. Refer to the Package Manager Manual for more information about installing, removing, and upgrading NI software using Package Manager.
  3. Follow the instructions in the installation prompts.
    Note Windows users may see access and security messages during installation. Accept the prompts to complete the installation.
    Note If installing from the NI Device Drivers DVD, select Modular Instruments » NI-SCOPE for installation.
  4. When the installer completes, select Restart in the dialog box that prompts you to restart, shut down, or restart later.
  5. If you are using a system running the LabVIEW Real-Time Module, download NI-SCOPE to the target using Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). For more information, refer to the Max Remote Systems Help by selecting Help » Help Topics » Remote Systems in MAX.
