Universal Library example programs
You can install example programs for supported languages when you install
the Universal Library software.
On Windows XP, the example programs are installed by default to
Program Files\Measurement Computing\DAQ
.
On Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows Vista, the example programs
are installed by default to
Users\Public\Documents\Measurement
Computing\DAQ
. When you install the example programs, an Examples
shortcut is added to the directory where you installed the UL software.

Getting started with ULx for NI LabVIEW
The ULx for NI LabVIEW is a library of virtual instruments (VIs) used with
MCC hardware to develop instrumentation, acquisition, and control
applications in NI LabVIEW 2010 or later. The ULx for NI LabVIEW
library syntax is consistent with LabVIEW DAQmx VIs.
The ULx for NI LabVIEW library is task-based. Every measurement or
output operation performed in a DAQ operation, such as analog input,
digital output, and so on, is a separate task. Each task is associated with one
hardware device and one or more channels of the same type.
