PXD 222 Digitizer

INSTALL AND POWER UP THE DIGITIZER

Prior to inserting the PXD 222 Digitizer into your chassis, you should install the necessary
software components on your system. To use the PXD 222 IVI driver, you will need to install the
following:

•

IVI Engine (v1.65 or greater)

•

NI-VISA (v2.5 Runtime version)

•

PXD 222 IVI Instrument Driver

To run examples provided on the PXD 222 CDROM (including the Quick-Start demo and LabWin-
dows™/CVI Getting Started Examples) you should also install:

•

Measurement and Automation Explorer (included with NI-DAQ™ 6.8.1)

•

LabWindows™/CVI Run-time Engine (included with the Quick-Start demo installation)

All of these components are included on the CDROM. Use the following instructions to install
these components on any Windows operating system in order to run the LeCroy Quick Start Demo
and Example programs.

Install NI Software Components

Install the following NI software components.

For detailed information about installing this soft-

ware, please visit the National Instruments Web site,

http://www.ni.com

and search for NI-DAQ™

6.8.1 in their Downloads section

Install NI-DAQ™ version 6.8.1

Installing this software will also install National Instrument’s Measurement and Automation
Explorer (MAX). We do not suggest using NI-DAQ™ 6.9.2 because it includes a bug that can
prevent recognition of the PXD 222 and other PXI instruments. After installation, confirm that
you have a MAX icon on your desktop. According to the “About Max…” dialog box, the MAX
version should be version 2.0.3.17.

Install NI-VISA Run-time version 2.5

Installing this software will also install the LabWindows™/CVI Run-Time Engine, which is a
necessary component.

Install IVI Engine 1.8.3

The IVI Engine software is necessary when you are using IVI drivers. Visit
