PC-LPM-16/PnP User Manual xii



National Instruments Corporation

installation and configuration instructions, specification

information about your DAQ hardware, and application hints.

• Software documentation—Examples of software documentation

you may have are the LabVIEW, LabWindows



/CVI

documentation sets, and the NI-DAQ documentation. After you set

up your hardware system, use either the application software

(LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI) or the NI-DAQ documentation to

help you write your application. If you have a large, complicated

system, it is worthwhile to look through the software

documentation before you configure your hardware.

• Accessory installation guides or manuals—If you are using

accessory products, read the terminal block and cable assembly

installation guides. They explain how to physically connect the

relevant pieces of the system. Consult these guides when you are

making your connections.
