You can expand the timing and triggering functionality of your PXI Express system with PXI
Express Timing and Synchronization products. These products provide precision clock
sources, custom routing of triggers for multichassis synchronization, clock sharing, and more
and are programmed with NI-Sync. For more information, visit

NI-VISA is the National Instruments implementation of the VISA specification. VISA is a
uniform API for communicating and controlling USB, Serial, GPIB, PXI, PXI Express, VXI,
and various other types of instruments. This API aids in the creation of portable applications
and instrument drivers. For information about writing your own PXI Express instrument driver
with NI-VISA, refer to the
NI-VISA Getting Started Manual
and the
readme.txt
file in the
NI-VISA directory. For more information, visit
ni.com/visa
.
With LabVIEW for Linux and support for more than two hundred devices on Linux with the
NI-DAQmx driver, you now can create Virtual Instruments based on the Linux OS. The NI-
VISA driver for Linux has improved instrument control in Linux, and NI Modular Instruments
are partially supported. For more information, visit
