Unpacking
The 671X device is shipped in an antistatic package to prevent electrostatic
damage to the device. Electrostatic discharge can damage several
components on the device. To avoid such damage in handling the device,
take the following precautions:
•
Ground yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded
object.
•
Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of your computer chassis
before removing the device from the package.
•
Remove the device from the package and inspect the device for
loose components or any other sign of damage. Notify National
Instruments if the device appears damaged in any way. Do not install
a damaged device into your computer.
•
Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
Software Programming Choices
You have several options to choose from when programming your National
Instruments DAQ and SCXI hardware. You can use National Instruments
application software, NI-DAQ, or register-level programming.
National Instruments Application Software
LabVIEW features interactive graphics, a state-of-the-art user interface,
and a powerful graphical programming language. The LabVIEW Data
Acquisition VI Library, a series of VIs for using LabVIEW with National
Instruments DAQ hardware, is included with LabVIEW. The LabVIEW
Data Acquisition VI Library is functionally equivalent to NI-DAQ
software.
