Ni Mydaq Software Suite Mac
One NI myDAQ hardware device. NI LabVIEW Student Edition and Multisim Student Edition. Course Preparation CD. Information and courseware examples to help you incorporate NI myDAQ into your class. Courseware: Circuits courseware material includes an example syllabus, short homework experiments, and circuit example files based on NI. NI myDAQ Driver Before you can start using your NI myDAQ, you need to install the required software from the NI myDAQ Software Suite DVD (included in your box). Simply insert the DVD in your computer and follow the on-screen instructions. Note that the installation process may take from 20 to 40 minutes.
- NI-DAQmx for myDAQ is a driver which provides native support for myDAQ in LabVIEW for Mac OS X.
- Circuit Design Suite The myDAQ instruments in Multisim allow you to compare a schematically captured circuit with a prototype of the same design. This document will explain how to use the NI myDAQ instrumentation within the Multisim Circuit Design software, and give you examples on its diagnostic capabilities.
- The NI myDAQ Software Suite installs application software (NI LabVIEW, NI Multisim) first, and then installs the NI ELVISmx driver software. NoteIf you are not installing software from the NI myDAQ Software Suite media, make sure to install all application software before installing the driver software.
The NI myDAQ is a versatile data acquisition device that can be used with NI LabVIEW software. We’ve written many tutorials and informational blogs about the myDAQ. This post, however, will outline how to install the necessary drivers and software for the myDAQ.
Why Do I Need Drivers with LabVIEW?
When a computer needs to interact with some piece of external hardware, like the myDAQ, it needs instructions on how to utilize that piece of hardware. Hardware drivers accomplish this goal. For the myDAQ, the drivers must be installed before you can properly use the myDAQ for data acquisition.
It’s possible that you already have LabVIEW installed, but when you try to use the myDAQ for data acquisition you can’t do so. Maybe you placed the DAQ Assist block in your block diagram but LabVIEW is unable to communicate with the myDAQ. Or maybe you don’t have the DAQ Assist block in your block menu at all. Both issues point to a lack of drivers as the culprit.
What is ELVISmx Software?
The ELVISmx software is included with the myDAQ drivers. The software offers a variety of data acquisition features, such as an oscilloscope, digital multimeter, and an audio equalizer. These modules can be useful for testing connections or manipulating incoming and outgoing data. The ELVISmx software is not a requirement for myDAQ compatibility with LabVIEW. However, the myDAQ drivers come with the software regardless.
How Do I Download and Install Drivers?
For Windows¸ you will want to download the drivers.
For Mac, you will want to download the drivers.
For both platforms, you will be brought to a page that has a download link. Click the download link to begin downloading the drivers.
NOTE: The Mac download will be a .dmg file.
Windows Installation
On Windows, once the file is done downloading, you need to browse to your downloads folder and right-click the file and choose “Extract Files”. NOTE: In my screenshot, below, my zip file is an older version than the file linked to above.
Once the files are extracted, a folder of the same name should open. Inside of this folder, right-click the “Setup” file and choose “Run as Administrator”.
Once the installer is open, you can simply use the default settings for everything and click “Next” when prompted to do so.
The installation process can be quick or slow depending on your computer. Be patient.
When the installation is finished, restart your computer.
Mac Installation
Once the dmg file is done downloading, all you need to do is double-click the dmg file to run it. Follow the instructions on the installation wizard to install the software. You can leave all the settings default.
The installation process can be quick or slow depending on your computer. Be patient.
Conclusion
That’s all there is to it. Once the drivers are installed, you’ll be able to access the ELVISmx tools and the myDAQ blocks in LabVIEW. Now you can get started on some fun projects! Enjoy!

Ni Mydaq Manual
- LabVIEW is development software that utilizes a graphical programming environment to allow users the ability to build, test, design, and control systems. The drag and drop format allows students to program the way they think, in a visual way.
- Multisim is a circuit design software and simulation tool that empowers educators to teach circuits and analog, digital, and power electronics by connecting simulation to experimentation.
- NI myDAQ is a student data acquisition device that combines a comprehensive set of plug-and-play computer-based lab instruments that travels easily, making it a perfect tool for hands-on learning in or outside of the lab. It features eight commonly used plug-and-play computer-based lab instruments based on LabVIEW, including an oscilloscope, a function generator, and digital multimeter (DMM).
