Installation Instructions

Perform the following steps to install NI-DAQmx:

1. Download and run the self-extracting executable NIDAQ850.exe.
   This will install NI-DAQmx 8.6 and all necessary driver files.
2. Download and run the self-extracting executable DeviceDocs850.exe. (Linked Below)
   This will install the device documentation for the hardware supported in this release of NI-DAQ.

To conserve disk space you can delete your extracted files. It is recommended that you keep the extracted installation files in case you need to add features from the NI-DAQmx distribution in the future.

Install Notes

The NI-DAQmx installer is packaged as a self-extracting archive that will automatically launch the driver installer. By default, files are extracted to C:\National Instruments Downloads\NI-DAQmx\8.5\ and can be deleted to conserve disk space. It is recommended that you keep the extracted installation files in case you need to add features from the NI-DAQmx distribution in the future.
