NI-5401 and LabVIEW 7

[raeletro]

I about to install a NI PCI 5401 on a new machine that have installed LabVIEW 7.0 express. I installed the LabVIEW 7.0 express and the NI-DAQ traditional Daq & Daq mx.What else do I need to have installed on the machine ?

Hi
You need to install NI-FGEN as well as a few other drivers for the NI PCI-5401. The following link will have more information on NI-FGEN as well as links to the other required drivers.

The LabVIEW 7 installs VISA 3.0.0.f5. Should I remove this and install the VISA 3.0.1 ?

Yes, you must as NI_FGEN has that version as a requirement. Do you have anything that requires VISA? You may get a warning or two that other applications require VISA when you try to do that. But they should still work after installing the newer version.
