Programming the Device
You can use the NI-5690 instrument driver to program the NI 5690 in the supported ADE of
your choice.
NI-5690 Instrument Driver Examples
Examples demonstrate the functionality of the device and serve as programming models and
building blocks for your own applications. The NI Example Finder is a utility available for
some ADEs that organizes examples into categories and allows you to easily browse and
search installed examples. You can see descriptions and compatible hardware models for each
example, or see all the examples compatible with one particular hardware model.
To locate examples, refer to the following table.
