Hello Wayne, Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
The evaluation version of LabVIEW, when downloaded from the website, does not include the hardware drivers for instrument control or data acquisition. You can obtain the necessary drivers one of three ways: 1) If you already have a Driver CD, install the NI-488.2 (version 2.0 or later) drivers from that CD. 2) You can request a Driver CD by checking the appropriate box when downloading the LabVIEW evaluation software. 3) You can download the latest version of NI-488.2 using the following link. This will install Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) and allow you to use the Instrument I/O Assistant. http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/3D536368FAF409A086256D3400650632?opendocument&node=132060_US I hope this helps! If you continue to have problems or have further questions, let me know. Matthew C Applications Engineer National Instruments
