Installing the Software
Use the Setup program that came with your NI-VXI/NI-VISA software
to install the entire software package or a software update, or to reinstall
software in the event that your files were accidentally erased. Some of
the utilities rely on the LabWindows™/CVI™ Run-Time Engine. This
software is installed, if necessary, during the NI-VXI/NI-VISA installation.
Depending on the type of installation you choose, you may need up to
500 MB of free space on your hard drive to accommodate the NI-VXI and
NI-VISA software.
