minimum daqmx driver install

[falkpl]

I have an appliction which uses daqmx ai and a few dio with a ni-usb multifunction device which is going to be distributed widely (eventually).  What is the minimum install footprint I can provide.  I am concerned about the size/time it will take to install the 3-disks that come with the devices.  Does anyone know the minimum install and how to set this up from LV8.5 installer.  Ideally I dont even have MAX on the client computers, just an istall that contains the minimum.  I will use the daqmx system to scan for devices and find the correct usb device so naming convention is not even required.

Paul,

For data acquisition applications, the best practice to achieve the smallest footprint possible is to create a LabVIEW executable and use DAQmx Base driver.  There is no way around it, you will a DAQ driver of some kind so the hardware can interface with your computer. and DAQmx Base has a significantly smaller footprint than full DAQmx.
