Downloading to a cDAQ-9174?

[kmay]

Hi newbie here. Just bought a cDaq-9174 with an input and output card. I am kinda anxious to try the new unit out, but I cannot seem to figure out how to download anything to it. I just want to try and turn an input on and see an output light up. The MAX software found the controller and all of the cards. I have labview and I created a little VI that runs, but after that I run out of knowledge. Cannot seem to find anything about compiling or downloading. Any help would be greatly appreiciated. Yea I know cart before the horse type stuff, but what can I say its new.

kmay, CompactDAQ is like USB measurement board. It doesn't contain embedded processor you would be able to program. Therefore, all the code you build in LabVIEW will run on local machine. To try some measurement, use DAQ Assistant from DAQmx paletter in LabVIEW, or use examples from Example Finder (Help -> Find Examples).

But as I said, code will run on local PC and thus no compilation and download is necessary.
