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 for most users.
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 easier than, and as flexible as, register-
level programming, and can save weeks of development time.
National Instruments offers a variety of products to use with your
PC-DIO-96/PnP board, including cables, connector blocks, and other

You can interface the PC-DIO-96/PnP to a wide range of printers,
plotters, test instruments, I/O racks and modules, screw terminal panels,
and almost any device with a parallel interface. The PC-DIO-96/PnP
digital I/O connector is a standard, 100-pin header connector. Adapters
for this header connector expand the interface to four 50-pin ribbon
cables, each of which has the pinout of a PC-DIO-24. The pin
assignments of the expansion cables are compatible with the standard
