Some Manuals Provide Incorrect Instructions for Accessing the Device Documentation Browser

Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-DAQmx
Primary Software Version: 8.7
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A
Hardware: Multifunction DAQ (MIO)

Problem:
Some DAQ hardware documentation indicates that Start menu shortcuts exist for device documents. However, when I try to access these shortcuts, they are not installed on my system. Have the shortcuts moved?

Solution:
Many hardware manuals refer to the previous way to access the device documents in the Device Documentation Browser. For example, some manuals include instructions such as, "After installing the device documents, you can open the document from Start menu." However, NI-DAQmx 8.7 neither installs the documents nor creates shortcuts in the start menu.

Instead, the documentation for supported devices and accessories, including PDF and help files describing device terminals, specifications, features, and operation are on the NI-DAQmx CD that includes Device Documentation. Insert the CD, open the Device Documentation directory, and double-click the Device Documents shortcut for your language to find, view, and print device documents.

To download the Device Documentation, refer to the link below.
