NI-DAQ
NI 6115/6120 User Manual
When programming National Instruments DAQ hardware, you can use an
NI application development environment (ADE) or other ADEs. In either
case, you use NI-DAQ.
NI-DAQ, which shipped with the NI 6115/6120, has an extensive library of
functions that you can call from the ADE. These functions allow you to use
all the features of the device.
NI-DAQ carries out many of the complex interactions, such as
programming interrupts, between the computer and the DAQ hardware.
NI-DAQ maintains a consistent software interface among its different
versions so that you can change platforms with minimal modifications
to the code. Whether you are using LabVIEW, LabWindows
Measurement Studio, VI Logger, or other ADEs, your application uses
NI-DAQ, as illustrated in Figure 1-1.
