8.5 device drivers CDs

[Graziano]

Hi everybody,
   I've found this link for downloading new device drivers compatible with LV 8.5, but is it possible to get it as separate drivers, or at least, is it possible to get it into 3 separate (CD) download? Since I have a slow internet connection, I'd like to download smaller files, instead of downloading a 1579 MBytes-exe of drivers!!!
  
   Thanks!

Hi Graziano

i´m not from NI and so i´m not sure, but i think if you call them, they would send you a CD or DVD.

Hi Mike,
   thanks for helping me.  I still prefer to download them from the net: it's faster (perhaps should be ) than ordering CDs. 

   Much faster, if I could download only needed component and dependencies!!!

   Anyway, thanks!

You can download the drivers separately. DAQmx, NI-VISA, NI-GPIB, etc, are all available so you can just download the driver you need.

Hi Dennis,
   I had some problem in finding FieldPoint drivers for LV 8.5, that's my problem! I know other drivers are on the net.

In fact, it appears that the FP 6.0 driver is not avaliable as a separate installer.

P.S. non puoi proprio fare magari un salto alla National o farti spedire un DVD? Di solito sono disponibili ad aiutare. Mi sa che l'alternativa è di sciropparsi la mappazza da 1600 MB.

hehe
   sono già al 10 % ... sto usando wget (senza non riuscirei, con la connessione che va e viene!).  Vi farò sapere se ce la farò...

   I'm at 10% of download, using wget.  I'll let you know if I success...

Hi Graziano

i guess FieldPoint 4.1 is available in DAQmx8.6.1. So it could be possible that FieldPoint 6.0 is available in DAQmx 8.7.

Hi Mike!
   DAQmx 8.7 is 839 MBytes, so I'll keep downloading the whole .exe of 1.5 GBytes, I'm in progress...

   Anyway, in DAQmx download page it is not mentioned fieldpoint support.... NI should explain clearly from FieldPoint pages what driver has to be downloaded.  I posted this problem also to "monthly bugs" post.

   Thanks again, have a nice evening!

Hi Graziano,

I'm sorry but there is no way to just install the Field Point 6.0 dirvers as mentioned in this document:

Where Do I Find the NI-FieldPoint 6.0 Driver?

Feel free to call us if you need any other help.

Andrea
