NI myDAQ Software Overview

NI ELVISmx Driver Software

NI ELVISmx is the driver software that supports NI myDAQ. NI ELVISmx uses
LabVIEW-based software instruments to control the NI myDAQ device, providing the
functionality of a suite of common laboratory instruments. Refer to the
NI ELVISmx Software Instruments
measurement instruments.
NI ELVISmx is located on your driver software installation media included in the NI myDAQ
kit, or can be found by searching for
. To determine the version of NI ELVISmx software support required for your version
drivers
of LabVIEW, go to

NI LabVIEW and NI ELVISmx Express VIs

Also installed with NI ELVISmx are the LabVIEW Express VIs, which use NI ELVISmx
software instruments to program NI myDAQ with more enhanced functionality. For more
information on the NI ELVISmx Express VIs, refer to the
section.
NI ELVISmx supports LabVIEW (32 bit). To use NI ELVISmx with
Note
LabVIEW on a 64-bit operating system, you must have LabVIEW (32 bit) installed.

NI myDAQ and NI Multisim

You can use NI ELVISmx instruments in NI Multisim to simulate a circuit, measure the real
signals with NI myDAQ, and compare simulated and acquired data. To see step-by-step
instructions for using NI ELVISmx instruments in NI Multisim, refer to Using NI ELVISmx in
NI Multisim help file, installed with NI ELVISmx. To access this help file, go to Start»
