Chapter 1
Optional Software
This manual contains complete instructions for directly programming the PC-TIO-10. Normally,
however, you should not need to read the low-level programming details in the user manual
because the NI-DAQ software package for controlling the PC-TIO-10 is included with the board.
Using NI-DAQ is quicker and easier than and as flexible as using the low-level programming
described in Chapter 4, Programming.
You can use the PC-TIO-10 with LabVIEW for Windows or LabWindows for DOS. LabVIEW
and LabWindows are innovative program development software packages for data acquisition
and control applications. LabVIEW uses graphical programming, whereas LabWindows
enhances Microsoft C and QuickBASIC. Both packages include extensive libraries for data
acquisition, instrument control, data analysis, and graphical data presentation.
Part numbers for these software packages are listed in the following table.
