PXIe-8861 Firmware and Additional Drivers

PXIe-8861 Firmware and Additional Drivers provides support for the PXIe-8861 PXI Controller.

You can use the included device drivers to install Windows on the PXIe-8861 independently rather than through a recovery CD or DVD. The PXIe-8861 device driver communicates with the firmware to help you set up and control how the PXIe-8861 operates.
