Getting Started
This chapter describes the key features of the NI PXI-1036 and

Unpacking
Carefully inspect the shipping container and the chassis for damage. Check
for visible damage to the metal work. Check to make sure all handles,
hardware, and switches are undamaged. Inspect the inner chassis for any
possible damage, debris, or detached components. If damage appears to
have been caused during shipment, file a claim with the carrier. Retain the
