Справочник Пользователя для National Instruments PXI-8170 Series

Your hard drive includes a directory called 

images

 in its root that 

contains software and soft copies of manuals for the operating system 
and peripherals. The directory structure under the 

images

 directory is 

logically organized into several levels.

In the 

images

 directory itself, you will find a 

manuals

 directory, 

an

os

directory, and directories for each of the peripherals of your 

computer.

The 

manuals

 directory contains quick reference guides, technical 

reference manuals, and National Instruments software manuals, all in 
Adobe Acrobat format. To access any of these manuals, change your 
directory to 

c:\images\pxi8170\manuals

 and list the contents of that 

directory. You will see several files, one corresponding to each peripheral.

The 

os

 directory contains a subdirectory corresponding to the operating 

system installed on your computer. That subdirectory contains an image 
of the CD from which your operating system was installed, so you do not 
need to insert the CD when you install a new peripheral. When the software 
prompts you to insert the CD, direct the system to look in the 

images\os

 

directory instead.

For example, if your system has Windows 98 installed, you should find an 
image of the Windows 98 CD in 

c:\images\os\win98

.

The rest of the directories correspond to each peripheral in your system. 
Within each of these directories are the drivers for the peripherals. These 
files and directories are copied exactly from the distribution disks of the 
manufacturers, so the naming conventions vary from peripheral to 
peripheral.

Because the naming conventions may not be completely straightforward, 
National Instruments provides a text file named 

drivers.txt

 in the 

c:\images\pxi8170

 directory. The 

drivers.txt

 file explains how 

to install support for each peripheral. You may want to print this file for 
reference when you install your peripheral device drivers.
