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
.

Click
NI Launcher
and select
NI-SCOPE»SCOPE
Soft Front Panel

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»
