[notice color=blue] IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTE: The NIDAQ driver should always be installed from a Windows user account which has administrative privileges. If the user who will routinely be using the AFCBP1 Bipotentiostat does not have an account with administrative privileges, then special steps must be taken to assure that the user is granted access to certain installation folders.

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).
