Some vendors provide the software in the box with the hardware sold. Otherwise, a little search on the NI site will do the job. Usually, there are two flavors of the drivers for these devices: "Plug and Play" as well as "Plug and play (project style)". Complete and detailed installation is also available on the NI site. Note the path and two versions of the drivers installed. This is for demo and installation of both versions, while perfectly OK but not necessary useful.
