programming interface for building virtual instruments. For Visual C++
developers, Measurement Studio offers a set of Visual C++ classes and
tools to integrate those classes into Visual C++ applications. The libraries,
ActiveX controls, and classes are available with Measurement Studio and
the NI-DAQ software.

VirtualBench features virtual instruments that combine DAQ products,
software, and your computer to create a stand-alone instrument with the
added benefit of the processing, display, and storage capabilities of your
computer. VirtualBench instruments load and save waveform data to disk
in the same forms that can be used in popular spreadsheet programs and
word processors.

Using LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, or VirtualBench software greatly
reduces the development time for your data acquisition and control
application.

NI-DAQ Driver Software

The NI-DAQ driver software shipped with your 6023E/6024E/6025E is
compatible with you device. It has an extensive library of functions that
you can call from your application programming environment. These
functions allow you to use all features of your 6023E/6024E/6025E.

NI-DAQ addresses many of the complex issues between the computer and
the DAQ hardware such as programming interrupts. NI-DAQ maintains a
consistent software interface among its different versions so that you can
change platforms with minimal modifications to your code. Whether you
are using LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, or other programming
languages, your application uses the NI-DAQ driver software, as illustrated
in Figure 1-1.
