AT-DIO-32F User Manual
Optional Software
This manual contains complete instructions for directly programming the AT-DIO-32F.
Normally, however, you should not need to read the low-level programming details in the user
manual because the NI-DAQ software package for controlling the AT-DIO-32F is included with
the board. Using NI-DAQ is quicker and easier than and as flexible as using the low-level
programming described in Chapter 4, Programming.
You can use the AT-DIO-32F with LabVIEW for Windows or LabWindows for DOS.
LabVIEW and LabWindows are innovative program development software packages for data
acquisition and control applications. LabVIEW uses graphical programming, whereas
LabWindows enhances Microsoft C and QuickBASIC. Both packages include extensive
libraries for data acquisition, instrument control, data analysis, and graphical data presentation.
Part numbers for these software packages are listed in the following table.
