Note New security updates to Microsoft Vista and NI-DAQ 8.6 or later create random INF
files for NI hardware. Windows assigns random file numbers to all INF files, which causes
the user to search through several INF files until the correct file is located.
If you want to revert back, save a copy of this file as
OEM x_original.inf in a different location.
2. Edit the device INF file by opening OEM x.inf with a text editor.
At the bottom of this file are the descriptors where Windows looks to
identify the device. Locate the two lines of text that contain in quotes
the descriptors for the device name you are modifying. Change the
descriptor on both lines to the new device name, as shown in Figure 15.
