*** NI-DAQ Download and Installation Instructions Thank you for using National Instruments NI-DAQ for PC Compatibles. NI-DAQ 7.4 for PC Compatibles works on Windows 2000/XP/NT. Refer to the readme.html file for more information on NI-DAQ and the devices supported. The NI-DAQ 7.4 installation files are spread across two different volumes. The first volume, CD 1, contains the components necessary for installing NI-DAQmx and Traditional NI-DAQ. The second volume, CD 2, contains the components necessary to install NI-Switch and all of the NI-DAQ device documentation. If you only want to install NI-DAQmx and/or Traditional DAQ, you only need to download the first volume, NIDAQ740CD1.zip.

STEP 2) Extract the NIDAQ740CD1.zip file into the folder you created in STEP 1. This will create the installation files necessary for installing NI-DAQ. Step 3) [Optional] To install NI-Switch and/or the Device Documentation Browser, create a second temporary folder on your local hard drive, name it NIDAQ740b and extract NIDAQ740CD2.zip into it. This will create the installation files necessary for installing NI-Switch and/or the Device Documentation Browser. STEP 3) To launch the NI-DAQ installer run the setup.exe program in the NIDAQ740 folder. Step 4) [Optional] To launch the Device Documentation Browser, run the setup.exe program in the NIDAQ740b folder.
