The first step is to get the card recognized by Measurement and Automation. To do this open MAX (the DAQ installer should have left a shortcut on your desktop) and in the explorer window on the left side of the screen, open the sub tree for viewing devices. Your board should appear in there. If it doesn't, press F5 and it should pop in.

Once MAX recognizes the device, you can create virtual channels that read the inputs. LabVIEW, in turn, reads those channel names.

In terms of LV code, a good place to start is with either the examples or the DAQ Wizard.

Obviously this is a quick overview, but the process isn't really very hard. The documentation will give you the details of you are having trouble with any of this.

If you have any specific questions,
feel free to contact me.
