Once the drivers are installed, you’ll be able to access the ELVISmx tools and the myDAQ blocks in LabVIEW. Refer to the National Instruments website for information about. LabVIEW 2015 (64-bit) includes nearly all of the development environment features of LabVIEW 2015 (32-bit). The installation process can be quick or slow depending on your computer. LabVIEW 2015 (64-bit) When run on Windows (64-bit), LabVIEW 2015 (64-bit) provides access to more memory than a 32-bit operating system or a 32-bit application can provide. Follow the instructions on the installation wizard to install the software. Once the dmg file is done downloading, all you need to do is double-click the dmg file to run it. When the installation is finished, restart your computer. The installation process can be quick or slow depending on your computer. Once the installer is open, you can simply use the default settings for everything and click “Next” when prompted to do so. Inside of this folder, right-click the “Setup” file and choose “Run as Administrator”. Once the files are extracted, a folder of the same name should open.
NOTE: In my screenshot, below, my zip file is an older version than the file linked to above. On Windows, once the file is done downloading, you need to browse to your downloads folder and right-click the file and choose “Extract Files”. Click the download link to begin downloading the drivers. However, the myDAQ drivers come with the software regardless.įor Windows¸ you will want to download the drivers.įor Mac, you will want to download the drivers.įor both platforms, you will be brought to a page that has a download link. The ELVISmx software is not a requirement for myDAQ compatibility with LabVIEW. The software offers a variety of data acquisition features, such as an oscilloscope, digital multimeter, and an audio equalizer. These modules can be useful for testing connections or manipulating incoming and outgoing data. The ELVISmx software is included with the myDAQ drivers. Both issues point to a lack of drivers as the culprit. Or maybe you don’t have the DAQ Assist block in your block menu at all. Maybe you placed the DAQ Assist block in your block diagram but LabVIEW is unable to communicate with the myDAQ. It’s possible that you already have LabVIEW installed, but when you try to use the myDAQ for data acquisition you can’t do so. For the myDAQ, the drivers must be installed before you can properly use the myDAQ for data acquisition.
When a computer needs to interact with some piece of external hardware, like the myDAQ, it needs instructions on how to utilize that piece of hardware.
This post, however, will outline how to install the necessary drivers and software for the myDAQ. We’ve written many tutorials and informational blogs about the myDAQ. The NI myDAQ is a versatile data acquisition device that can be used with NI LabVIEW software.
