Software

Calibrating the NI 9229/9239 requires the installation of NI-DAQmx 9.5 or later on the 
calibration system. You can download NI-DAQmx from 

ni.com/downloads

. NI-DAQmx 

supports LabVIEW, LabWindows

/CVI

, ANSI C, Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual 

Basic .NET, and Microsoft Visual C#. When you install NI-DAQmx you only need to install 
support for the application software that you intend to use.
