Register-Level Programming
Another option for programming any National Instruments DAQ hardware
is to write register-level software. Writing register-level programming
software can be very time-consuming and inefficient and is not
recommended.
Even if you are an experienced register-level programmer, consider using
National Instruments application software to program your National
Instruments DAQ hardware. Using National Instruments application
software is easier than and as flexible as register-level programming and
can save weeks of development time.
Optional Equipment
National Instruments offers a variety of products to use with your
PXI-1010 chassis, including cables and other accessories, as follows:

Key Features
The PXI-1010 combines a high-performance 8-slot PXI subsystem with
a 4-slot SCXI subsystem. The PXI-1010 has a structural design that is
optimized for maximum use in a wide range of applications. The PXI-1010
fully complies with the
PXI Specification
, Revision 2.0, offering advanced
timing and synchronization features.
The SCXI subsystem supplies a low-noise environment for signal
conditioning, supplying power and control circuitry for the SCXI modules.
Use this general-purpose chassis with current and future SCXI modules.
The PXI-1010 has a built-in interconnect between the PXI and SCXI
subsystems that allows a DAQ device in the eighth PXI slot to control the
SCXI subsystem without additional cables.
