Technical Support and

Professional Services

Visit the following sections of the National Instruments Web site at

ni.com for technical support and professional services:

•Support—Online technical support resources include the following:

–Self-Help Resources—For immediate answers and solutions,

visit our extensive library of technical support resources available

in English, Japanese, and Spanish at ni.com/support. These

resources are available for most products at no cost to registered

users and include software drivers and updates, a KnowledgeBase,

product manuals, step-by-step troubleshooting wizards,

conformity documentation, example code, tutorials and

application notes, instrument drivers, discussion forums,

ameasurement glossary, and so on.

–Assisted Support Options—Contact NI engineers and other

measurement and automation professionals by visiting

ni.com/support. Our online system helps you define your

question and connects you to the experts by phon e, discussion

forum, oremail.

•Training—Visit ni.com/training for self-paced tutorials, videos,

and interactive CDs. You also can register for instructor-led, hands-on

courses at locations around the world.

•System Integration—If you have time constraints, limited in-house

technical resources, or other project challenges, NI Alliance Program

members can help. To learn more, call your local NI office or visit

ni.com/alliance.

•Declaration of Conformity (DoC)—A DoC is our claim of

compliance with the Council of the European Communities using

themanufacturer’s declaration of conformity. This system affords

theu ser protection for electronic compatibility (EMC) and product

safety. You can obtain the DoC for your product by visiting
