several types of manuals, depending on the hardware and software in
your system. Use the different types of manuals you have as follows:
•
Software documentation—You may have both application software
and 6810 software documentation. National Instruments
application software includes LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI.
After you set up your hardware system, use either the application
software documentation, or the 6810 documentation to help you
write your application. It may be helpful to look through the
software documentation before you configure your hardware.
•
Accessory installation guides or manuals—If you are using
accessory products, read the terminal block and cable assembly
installation guides or accessory board user manuals. They explain
how to physically connect the relevant pieces of the system.
Consult these guides when you are making your connections.
