Measurement Computing LabVIEW Rev.1.0 - Manual (Page 6)

Using the “How to” Examples
Examples for specific devices are located, by default, at:
C:\Program Files\DaqIO LabView Support\Howto and Example VI's
The directory has 4 sub-directories:
Daq Device Examples - For use with Daq Series Devices
DBK Examples - For use with DBK Expansion Cards
Wave Device Examples - For use with WaveBook Series Devices
WBK Examples - For use with WBK expansion modules
The directory also includes a How To with two sub-directories: Daq Devices and Wave
Devices. These sub-directories contain examples of how to perform specific operations
using the DaqIO VI's. Information is provided regarding digital and analog triggering,
waveform output, and asynchronous digital IO along with other operations [that are
included within the directory].
The Howto VI’s contain documented diagrams that explain functions and VI connections
specific to each VI. Howto number 1 and number 2 show the basic steps and most
common wiring connections needed for most VI’s. You should become familiar with
these two VI’s before proceeding with the creation of your own programs.
The Howto VI’s contain generic device configuration VI’s. If you use a Howto VI as a
basis for your own VI, then the generic Howto channel configuration VI’s should be
replaced with channel configuration VI’s that are specific to your device type. This is
necessary to access the full functionality of your device (see following figure).
