ISA Devices

If you plan to use ISA Plug and Play DAQ devices on Windows NT, you must first install NI-DAQ, then the Windows NT ISA Plug and Play driver before configuring your device with MAX. This driver is not installed by default. Follow these steps to install the driver:

1. Insert your Windows NT CD.
2. Go to the \Drvlib\Pnpisa\X86 directory.
3. Right-click the Pnpisa.inf file and select Install.
4. After you have installed the Pnpisa.inf file, power off your computer.
5. Install your ISA Plug and Play DAQ device.
6. Power on your computer. When Windows NT detects your ISA Plug and Play DAQ device, it will specify the necessary driver files. Because this will result in a configuration change, restart your computer.
7. After restarting, run MAX. MAX will automatically detect the device and ask for a device number.

Refer to Configuring DAQ Devices for more information.

Note  After you make any resource changes to ISA Plug and Play devices in MAX, you must restart your system.
