Introduction

DAQArb 5411 User Manual

Your DAQArb 5411 kit contains a free copy of VirtualBench-Arb and

VirtualBench-Function Generator. VirtualBench-Arb is a turn-key

application you can use to generate waveforms as you would with a

standard arbitrary waveform generator.

The NI-DAQ driver software is included at no charge with all National

Instruments DAQ hardware. NI-DAQ is not packaged with accessory

products. NI-DAQ has an extensive library of functions that you can

call from your application programming environment.

Whether you are using conventional programming languages,

LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, or VirtualBench, your application uses

the NI-DAQ driver software, as illustrated in Figure 1-1.
