The DAQ-STC Technical Reference Manual is one piece of the
documentation set for your data acquisition system. You could have any of
several types of manuals depending on the hardware and software in your
system. Use the manuals you have as follows:
•
Getting Started with SCXI—If you are using SCXI, this is the first
manual you should read. It gives an overview of the SCXI system and
contains the most commonly needed information for the modules,
chassis, and software.
•
Your SCXI hardware user manuals—If you are using SCXI, read these
manuals next for detailed information about signal connections and
module configuration. They also explain in greater detail how the
module works and contain application hints.
•
Your DAQ hardware user manuals—These manuals have detailed
information about the DAQ hardware that plugs into or is connected
in your computer. Use these manuals for hardware installation and
configuration instructions, specification information about your DAQ
hardware, and application hints.
•
Software manuals—Examples of software manuals you may have are
the LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI manual sets and the NI-DAQ
manuals. After you set up your hardware system, use either the
application software (LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI) manuals or the
NI-DAQ manuals to help you write your application. If you have a
large and complicated system, it is worthwhile to look through the
software manuals before you configure your hardware.
•
Accessory manuals—If you are using accessory products, read the
terminal block and cable assembly installation guides. They explain
how to physically connect the relevant pieces of the system. Consult
these guides when you are making your connections.
•
SCXI chassis manuals—If you are using SCXI, read these manuals for
maintenance information on the chassis and installation instructions.
