SCC Quick Start Guide

This document explains how to install and configure National Instruments 
SCC modules with NI-DAQmx. This document assumes you have already 
installed, configured, and tested the data acquisition (DAQ) device you will 
connect to the SC-2345/2350 carrier. SCC modules work with NI M Series, 
E Series, and B Series DAQ devices. If you have not done so, follow the 
instructions in the 

DAQ Quick Start Guide 

included with the DAQ device 

before continuing.
