Customer Communication

For your convenience, this appendix contains forms to help you gather the information necessary to
help us solve your technical problems and a form you can use to comment on the product
documentation. When you contact us, we need the information on the Technical Support Form and the
configuration form, if your manual contains one, about your system configuration to answer your
questions as quickly as possible.
National Instruments has technical assistance through electronic, fax, and telephone systems to
quickly provide the information you need. Our electronic services includ e a bulletin board service,
an FTP site, a fax-on-demand system, and e-mail support. If you have a hardware or software
problem, first try the electronic support systems. If the information available on these systems
does not answer your questions, we offer fax and telephone support through our technical support
centers, which are staffed by applications engineers.
