single-slot VXI controllers. Currently, this series consists of the VXIpc-740

Begin by reading the Getting Started with Your VXIpc 800/700 Series
manual for basic instructions for setting up the hardware and software. This
is a brief quick start manual that describes how to get started with your kit
using the default hardware and software settings, and how to configure and
use the NI-VXI software. Refer to the following manuals for more
information about the hardware or software.
This manual, the VXIpc 700 Series User Manual, contains more details
about changing the installation or configuration from the defaults, and
using the hardware.
When you are familiar with the material in these manuals, you can begin to
use the NI-VXI User Manual. This manual presents the concepts of VXI
and prepares you for detailed explanations of the NI-VXI functions. The
NI-VXI online help describes the NI-VXI functions to help you fully
understand the purpose and syntax of each function. You can find this same
information in the NI-VXI Programmer Reference Manual. These two
manuals are available in the
