NI USB Device Installation
Caution Follow proper ESD precautions to ensure you are grounded before installing the
hardware.
The NI USB devices support hot insertion on a PDA device, which means
you can install and remove the NI USB device without rebooting the PDA
device. You can install an NI USB device into any USB port that supports
USB host controller capabilities.
1. Connect the USB adapter cable to the synchronization port on
the PDA.
2. Connect the USB device to the adapter cable with the USB cable.
Note If you are using the USB device on a computer with Windows 2000/XP/Vista and
NI-DAQmx 7.5 or later installed on it, make sure the correct firmware is installed on the
device. Go to
ni.com/info and enter code USBFirmware for more information.
Note Before connecting a USB device to a PDA for the first time, you must connect the
USB device to a computer with NI-DAQmx Base 3.x installed on it in order to install the
appropriate firmware on the USB device. Go to
ni.com/info and enter code
USBFirmware for more information.
