National Instruments Documentation
The DAQMeter DAQCard-4050 User Manual is one piece of the
documentation set for your 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:
•
Your DAQ hardware user manuals—These manuals have detailed
information about the DAQ hardware that plugs into or is
connected to your computer. Use these manuals for hardware
installation and configuration instructions, specification
information about your DAQ hardware, and application hints.
•
Software documentation—You might have several sets of software
documentation, including LabVIEW, LabWindows
®
/CVI,
VirtualBench, and NI-DAQ. After you have 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 and complicated system, it is
worthwhile to look through the software documentation before you
configure your hardware.
