Non National Instruments DAQ Boards

[Cutter]

How do you configure (add) a non-National Instruments DAQ board, which is compatable with labview (IOtech DAQBoard 2000 - PCI), in the "Measurment and Automation Explorer" for LabVIEW?  It currently does not display that the device is seen under the "Devices and Interfaces" section.  All necessary software for the board has already been installed.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The short answer is, you don't. MAX is a utility written by NI and should not be expected to configure non-NI boards. If there is configuration required, you would use whatever software IOtech provides. To use it in LabVIEW, you would use the functions that they provide instead of DAQmx or traditional DAQ functions. Usually, "compatible with LabVIEW" just means that they provide their own set of LabVIEW drivers.
