The DAQPad-6507/6508 User Manual is one piece of the documentation
set for your data acquisition (DAQ) system. You could have any of several
types of manuals, depending on the hardware and software in your system.
Use the different types of manuals you have as follows:
•
Getting Started with SCXI—If you are using SCXI, this is the first
manual you should read. It gives an overview of the SCXI system and
contains the most commonly needed information for the modules,
chassis, and software.
•
Your SCXI hardware user manuals—If you are using SCXI, read these
manuals next for detailed information about signal connections and
module configuration. They also explain in greater detail how the
module works and contain application hints.
•
Your DAQ hardware user manuals—These manuals have detailed
information about the DAQ hardware that plugs into or is connected to
your computer. Use these manuals for hardware installation and
configuration instructions, specification information about your DAQ
hardware, and application hints.
•
Software documentation—Examples of software documentation you
may have are the LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and NI-DAQ
documentation sets. After you set up your hardware system, use
either the application software (LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI)
documentation or the NI-DAQ documentation to help you write your
application. If you have a large and complicated system, it is
worthwhile to look through the software documentation before you
configure your hardware.
•
Accessory installation guides or manuals—If you are using accessory
products, read the terminal block and cable assembly installation
guides or accessory device user manuals. They explain how to
physically connect the relevant pieces of the system. Consult these
guides when you are making your connections.
•
SCXI Chassis User Manual—If you are using SCXI, read this manual
for maintenance information on the chassis and installation
instructions.
