Configuration and Installation
This chapter describes how to configure and install the PXI/PCI-7340.
Software Installation
Before installing the 7340, install the NI-Motion driver software. Refer to
the Getting Started with NI Motion Control manual, which is included with
the controller, for specific installation instructions.
Note If you do not install the NI-Motion driver software before attempting to use the
7340, the system does not recognize the 7340 and you are unable to configure or use the
device.
Controller Configuration
Because motion I/O-related configuration of the 7340 is performed entirely
with software, it is not necessary to set jumpers for motion I/O
configuration.
The PXI-7340 and PCI-7340 controllers are fully compatible with the
industry standard PXI Specification, Revision 2.0 and the PCI Local Bus
Specification, Revision 2.2, respectively. This compatibility allows the PXI
or PCI system to automatically perform all bus-related configuration and
requires no user interaction. It is not necessary to configure jumpers for
bus-related configuration, including setting the device base memory and
interrupt channel.
