Differences between the
PC-LPM-16 and the
DAQCard-700
This appendix contains a summary of differences between the PC-LPM-16
and the DAQCard-700 that may be relevant to you if you are a current
PC-LPM-16 user.
The DAQCard-700 is compatible with the PC-LPM-16. Software
developed for the PC-LPM-16 using NI-DAQ or LabWindows routines,
as well as LabVIEW VIs for the PC-LPM-16, typically works with the
DAQCard-700 without modification. The following table summarizes
the significant differences.
Table B-1.
