      directory with E1437_32.LIB listed above (That you just downloaded):

      copy E1437_32.LIB to C:\vxipnp\WinNT\lib\msc\HPE1437_32.LIB

   4. Replace the hpe1437_32.dll in C:\vxipnp\[WinNT|Win95]\bin
      directory with e1437_32.dll listed above (That you just downloaded):

      copy e1437_32.dll \vxipnp\WinNT\bin\hpe1437_32.dll

That is all it takes ... unless ...

=========================================================================
Pentium Pro or Pentium II  w/ National Instruments VXI-PCI8000 interface:
=========================================================================
 
  If your VXI-PCI8000 Interface card was manufactured after September 1997 you
  will NOT need the new driver listed below:
  
   National Instruments VXI-PCI8000 Series number: VXI-PCI8015 - Windows NT
                                                   VXI-PCI8012 - Windows 95
  
   NOTE: VXI-PCI8000 cards manufactured after September 1997 are shipped 
         with this new driver.


For VXI-PCI8000 cards manufactured before September 1997 follow this instructions:

  When using a Pentium Pro or Pentium II microprocessor and a National
  Instruments VXI-PCI8000 interface kit, the latest NI-VXI software must
  be downloaded from National Instruments ftp site, ftp.natinst.com to
  fix a VXImove() bug.

   A. Download, unzip and install the file:
      WindowsNT:
        ftp://ftp.natinst.com/support/vxi/drivers/vxipc-8xx7xx/nivxi/winnt/2.0
      Windows95:
        ftp://ftp.natinst.com/support/vxi/drivers/vxipc-8xx7xx/nivxi/win95/2.0
    
      Download the following files:
                                  00readme.txt
                                  Vxipc20.zip
      Follow the instructions in the readme file 
                                                              

   B. Next, run the WindowsNT/95 registry editor, regedit,  and set the
      DisableMiteDMA value to 1 in the registry key
  
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\NI-VXI for WIN32

  See the 00readme.txt file in the same ftp directory as pcimxi20.zip for
  details; a portion of which is provided below:

  VXImove and viMoveXX transfers with large buffers may result in spurious 
  bus errors. The workaround is to use programmed I/O transfers instead of 
  DMA. This can be accomplished by setting AccessP_PIO(XFER_PIO) (bit 11)
  in the access parameters argument to VXImove. You also can force programmed
  I/O transfers by setting the DisableMiteDMA value to 1 in the registry key
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\NI-VXI for WIN32. You can
  edit the value of that key with the Windows utility REGEDIT.

=========================================================================
HPIB support:
=========================================================================

The optional HPIB support library relies on the INSTR32.DLL file which 
is part of the HP I/O libraries shipped with the HP E1406 commander module. 
At the time this README file was generated, the current version of the 
INSTR32.DLL was F.01.02.00. This version and earlier versions contain a defect
which prevent the HPE1437 library from operating in the HPIB/commander
module environment. An interim patched version of this file is available
as version F.01.02.02_alpha. You can get the patched version of the INSTR32.DLL
at the following location:

ftp://hpls01.lsid.hp.com/dsp/product/e1437/software/pc/instr32.dll

To check the version of your INSTR32.DLL select the file and then click "Properties."
if the version number of your instr32.dll is F.01.02 or earlier you will need the
patched alpha version of INSTR32.DLL. You should make a backup copy of your original 
instr32.dll before replacing it with the new alpha version. The normal location of
the instr32.dll is in the /vxipnp/winnt/hpvisa or /vxipnp/win95/hpvisa directory.

NOTE: This patch only applies if you are using an external computer with an HP-IB 
card connected to a E1406 Commander module to communicate with the E1437. This patch
will only work in a 32 bit windows environment  (Windows 95 or Windows NT).



That's all it takes.
