SCC Quick Start Guide
This document explains how to install and configure National Instruments
SCC modules with NI-DAQmx. This document assumes you have already
installed, configured, and tested the data acquisition (DAQ) device you will
connect to the SC-2345/2350 carrier. SCC modules work with NI M Series,
E Series, and B Series DAQ devices. If you have not done so, follow the
instructions in the
DAQ Quick Start Guide
included with the DAQ device
before continuing.
