National Instruments Documentation
The PCI-4451/4452 User Manual is one piece of the documentation set
foryour DAQ system. You could have any of several types of manuals
depending on the hardware and software in your system. Use the manuals
you have as follows:
• Software documentation—You may have both application software
and NI-DAQ software documentation. National Instruments
application software includes ComponentWorks, LabVIEW,
LabWindows/CVI, Measure, and VirtualBench. After you set up your
hardware system, use either your application software documentation
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
ofthe system. Consult these guides when you are making your
connections.
