Output File Directory

The directory where the output files should be saved. By default, the wizard will attempt to save the files in the instrument driver directory for this device (based on the Instrument Prefix).

On Windows, the default is:

My Documents\National Instruments\NI-VISA\<Instrument Prefix>

On Linux, the default is:

<User Home>/natinst/NI-VISA/<Instrument Prefix>

On Mac OS X, the default is:

<User Home>/Documents/National Instruments/NI-VISA/<Instrument Prefix>

LabWindows/CVI will look for the files in this location when the Create Distribution Kit option is used to build an instrument driver installation package. Currently, LabWindows/CVI supports distribution of .inf files for PXI/PCI, USB, and FireWire devices.
