Any platform that supports NI-IMAQ also supports NI-DAQ and a variety
of National Instruments DAQ boards, so your PCI/PXI-1407 and NI-IMAQ
development can integrate with National Instruments DAQ products.
Whether you are using conventional programming languages or National
Instruments software, your application uses the NI-IMAQ driver software,
as illustrated in Figure 1-1.
