1. Verifying System Requirements
Your system must meet certain requirements to use NI high-speed digitizers with NI-SCOPE.
For more information on minimum system, recommended system, and supported application
development environments (ADEs), refer to the
NI-SCOPE Readme
, which is available on the
NI-SCOPE media.
Note
After you install NI-SCOPE, you can access the
NI-SCOPE Readme
at
Start»All Programs»National Instruments»NI-SCOPE»Documentation
.
(Windows 8)
Click
NI Launcher
and select
NI-SCOPE»Documentation
in the
window that appears.
2. Unpacking
NI high-speed digitizers are shipped in an antistatic bag to protect them from electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Prior to removing the digitizer from the bag, touch the antistatic bag to a metal
part of the chassis to remove any built up static charge.
Caution
When handling the digitizer, make sure that you are grounded with a
grounding strap or you are touching a grounded metal object. Handle the digitizer
carefully to avoid touching any exposed pins or electronic circuitry.
Remove the digitizer from the package, remove the packing foam and rubber screw covers
(PXI/PXI Express devices only), and inspect the digitizer
for loose components or signs of
damage. Notify NI if the digitizer appears damaged in any way. Do
not
install a damaged
digitizer into your computer or chassis.
Store the digitizer in the antistatic bag when not in use.
