National Instruments Documentation
The VXI-SC-1102/B/C User Manual is one piece of the documentation
set for your VXI-DAQ system. You could have any of several types of
documents, depending on the hardware and software in your system.
Use the different types of documents you have as follows:
• Your VXI-DAQ hardware documentation—These documents have
detailed information about the VXI-DAQ hardware that plugs into
or is connected to your VXIbus chassis. Use these documents for
hardware installation and configuration instructions, specification
information about your VXI-DAQ hardware, and application hints.
• Software documentation—You may have both application software
and driver software documentation. National Instruments
application software includes ComponentWorks, LabVIEW,
LabWindows
® /CVI, Measure, and VirtualBench. National
Instruments driver software includes NI-DAQ and VXIplug&play
instrument drivers. After you set up your hardware system, use
either your application or driver software documentation to help
you write your application. If you have a large, complicated
system, it is worthwhile to look through the software
documentation before you configure your hardware.
