6.
Run the test panels on the device to verify the signal.
a.
Connect a signal to the digitizer and select the appropriate device parameters for this
signal such as range, input limits, sample rate, and sample mode.
b.
Access the test panel.
•
Right-click the device and select

Configure window.
Note
All NI digitizers have self-calibration capabilities. You can access this feature
programmatically with NI-SCOPE and your ADE, or you can use either the
NI-SCOPE Soft Front Panel (SFP) or MAX. Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) devices
cannot be self-calibrated using MAX.
7.
Exit MAX when you have finished configuring and testing the digitizer.
7. Programming the Device
You can acquire data interactively using the NI-SCOPE Soft Front Panel or programmatically
using the NI-SCOPE instrument driver in your application. You can also run the NI-SCOPE
examples to demonstrate the functionality of the digitizer.
Acquiring Data Interactively
Launch the NI-SCOPE SFP from
Start»All Programs»National Instruments»NI-SCOPE»
SCOPE Soft Front Panel
.
(Windows 8)
Click
NI Launcher
and select
NI-SCOPE»SCOPE
Soft Front Panel
in the window that appears. The NI-SCOPE SFP provides context-sensitive
help for its controls.
Acquiring Data Programmatically
You can use NI-SCOPE to begin programming the digitizer in your ADE. For detailed
instructions about how to acquire data in a specific ADE, refer to the
Getting Started with
NI-SCOPE
section of the
NI High-Speed Digitizers Help
located at
Start»All Programs»
National Instruments»NI-SCOPE»Documentation»NI High-Speed Digitizers Help.
(Windows 8)
Click
NI Launcher
and select
NI-SCOPE»Documentation»NI High-Speed
Digitizers Help
in the window that appears.
Tip
You can modify an NI-SCOPE C example to create an application with
Microsoft Visual C/C++, and all required include and library files are automatically
added to the project. Refer to the
Creating an Application with Microsoft Visual C
and C++
topic of the
NI High-Speed Digitizers Help
if you prefer to manually add
all required include and library files to the project.
