NI Digital Waveform Generator/Analyzer Guide
LabVIEW features interactive graphics, a state-of-the-art interface, and a
powerful graphical programming language. LabWindows/CVI is a complete
ANSI C ADE that features an interactive user interface, code generation
tools, and the LabWindows/CVI Data Acquisition and Easy I/O libraries.
Using LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI can greatly reduce your application
development time.
If you have not already installed the ADE, follow the instructions in the
product documentation to install your ADE now.
Install NI-HSDIO
NI-HSDIO features a set of operations and attributes that allow you to
programmatically configure and control the digital waveform
generator/analyzer. To install NI-HSDIO, complete the following steps:
1. Insert the NI-HSDIO CD. The NI-HSDIO installer should open
automatically. If not, select
Start»Run
, and enter
x
:\setup.exe
,
where

to restart, shut down, or exit. Select
Restart
.
4. If you are using a system running the LabVIEW Real-Time Module,
download NI-HSDIO to the target using MAX. Refer to the
Measurement & Automation Explorer Remote Systems Help
by selecting
Help»Help Topics»Remote Systems
in MAX.
NI Script Editor
The NI Script Editor is included on the NI-HSDIO CD and is installed when
you install the driver. The NI Script Editor provides an intuitive interface
to help you develop linking and looping pattern generation operations.
NI Script Editor Help
contains more information about the NI Script Editor.
You can access
NI Script Editor Help
by launching the NI Script Editor and
selecting

from the toolbar.
(Optional) Install the NI Digital Waveform Editor
The NI Digital Waveform Editor (DWE) is included with the higher-memory
versions of the NI 655
X
/654
X
and also can be purchased separately at
ni.com
. The NI DWE allows you to easily import data from popular
third-party EDA programs, create your own waveforms, edit these
waveforms, and view acquired waveforms.
If you are using the NI DWE, install it after you install NI-HSDIO.
