Software documentation—You may have both application software
and NI-DAQ software documentation. National Instruments (NI)
application software includes LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and
Measurement Studio. After you set up the hardware system, use either
your application software documentation or the NI-DAQ
documentation to help you write your application. If you have a large,
complex system, it is worthwhile to look through the software
documentation before you configure the hardware.
