Student version and Evaluation Kit

[MThem]

Hallo .. I have a student version of Labview 2013, because of my study .. - and I borrowed a Evaluation Kit hardware from my work..
Can I connect them together, or do I need to have the software installed for the evaluation kit also ?

What is the hardware? You'll need the driver for anything you connect to the pc. The driver would be installed after LabVIEW.

You need to be more specific. Are you talking about the RIO evaluation kit? (there are several others!)

If so, you also need e.g. the RT and FPGA software. You can find the 2013 execrcises and additional information here.

Okay, I get that 🙂

- the hardware is: LabVIEW RIO Evaluation Kit - but the driver for that is where?

[altenbach]

As I just said above, you need LabVIEW RT and LabVIEW FPGA. (You can probably download them and use them in eval mode for a limited time. Not sure what happens if you already have the LabVIEW student version installed). Then you also need to install drivers (such as NI-RIO) and probably some other stuff.

Also note that there is also an older version of the RIO eval kit, which has different hardware. Do you have the one described here?

OK, I found a detailed list of what you need here. (sorry for the multiple posts).
