1. Verifying System Requirements
Your system must meet certain requirements to use NI high-speed digitizers
with NI-SCOPE. For more information on minimum system, recommended
system, and supported application development environments (ADEs), refer
to the
NI-SCOPE Readme
, which is available on the NI-SCOPE CD.
Note
After you install NI-SCOPE, you can access the
NI-SCOPE
Readme
file at
Start»All Programs»National Instruments»
NI-SCOPE»Documentation
.
2. Unpacking
NI high-speed digitizers are shipped in an antistatic bag to protect them from
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Prior to removing the digitizer from the bag,
touch the antistatic bag to a metal part of the chassis to remove any built up
static charge.
Caution
When handling the digitizer, make sure that you are
grounded with a grounding strap or you are touching a grounded
metal object. Handle the digitizer carefully to avoid touching any
exposed pins or electronic circuitry.
