LabView Installation

 * 1) Make sure you have windows machine because if you have Mac OS X Lion it will have a few compatibility issues with the National Instruments software you can try this and see if you can complete the installation. More information on what particular components of NI software have issues with lion can be found here.
 * 2) Go to NI website and download LabVIEW trial version. You can obtain license by taking note from Prof. Sundeep Rangan and go to IT help desk to get LabVIEW software.
 * 3) For the NI system to work with labVIEW 8.6 the student version which we download earlier requires few more modules to be installed. You can find modules over here. Out of all of these select the LabVIEW Real-Time Module.
 * 4) Next, you will need to get and install software from four DVDs. You can get them from the [mailto:srangan@poly.edu Sundeep Rangan]. We are not sure if all of them are actually needed, or if they have to be installed in any particular order. The CDs are:
 * 5) *NI RIO 4.0
 * 6) *NI driver reference DVD
 * 7) *NI PXI platform services
 * 8) *NI Embedded Controllers, Documentation CD
