How to Use This Documentation Set
Begin by reading the Getting Started with Your VXI/VMEpc 600 Series
manual for your operating system to get basic instructions for setting up the
hardware and software. This brief quick-start manual describes how to get
started with your kit using the default hardware and software settings, and
how to configure and use the NI-VXI software. Refer to the following
manuals for more information about the hardware or software.
This manual, the VXI/VMEpc 600 Series User Manual, contains more
details about changing the installation or configuration from the defaults,
and using the hardware.
When you are familiar with the material in these manuals, you can begin to
use the NI-VXI User Manual. This manual presents the concepts of VXI
and prepares you for detailed explanations of the NI-VXI functions. The

understand the purpose and syntax of each function. You can find this same
information in the NI-VXI Programmer Reference Manual. These two
manuals are available in the
