National Instruments Documentation

The VXI-SC-1102/B/C User Manual is one piece of the documentation
set for your VXI-DAQ system. You could have any of several types of
documents, depending on the hardware and software in your system.
Use the different types of documents you have as follows:
• Your VXI-DAQ hardware documentation—These d ocuments have
detailed in formation about the VXI-DAQ hard ware that plugs in to
or is connected to your VXIbus chassis. Use these documents for
hardware installation and configuration instructions, specification
information about yo ur VXI- DAQ hardware, and ap plicat ion hi nt s.
• Software documentation—You may have both application software
and driver software documentation. National Instruments
application software includes ComponentWorks, LabVIEW,
LabWindows®/CVI, Measure, and VirtualBench. Nationa l
Instruments driver software includes NI-DAQ and VXIplug&play
instrument drivers. After you set up your hardware system, use
either your application or driver software 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.
