RT Series DAQ Device User Manual
Instrument or controller that is addressable as a single entity and controls
or monitors real-world I/O points. A device is often connected to the host
computer through some type of communication network or can be a plug-in
device.
For data acquisition (DAQ) applications, a DAQ device is inside your
computer or attached directly to the parallel port of your computer. Plug-in
boards, PCMCIA cards, and devices such as the DAQPad-1200, which
connects to your computer's parallel port, are all examples of DAQ devices.
SCXI modules are distinct from devices, with the exception of the
SCXI-1200, which is a hybrid.
