The final option for programming any National Instruments DAQ
hardware is to write register-level software. Writing register-level
programming software can be very time-consuming and inefficient and is
not recommended.
Even if you are an experienced register-level programmer, consider using
NI-DAQ, LabVIEW, or LabWindows/CVI to program your National
Instruments DAQ hardware. Using the NI-DAQ, LabVIEW, or
LabWindows/CVI software is as easy and as flexible as register-level
programming and can save weeks of development time.
