After you have installed the device driver on your computer (and after you have physically installed the interface board inside your computer), you should run the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) utility. The MAX utility is installed on your desktop when you install the NIDAQ device driver.

Using the MAX utility, look inside the “Legacy NIDAQ Devices” folder and make certain that your interface board appears. The interface board usually appears as a “PCI-MIO-16E-4” board in the list of legacy devices. It is usually assigned a device number equal to one (1).
