What Your Kit Should Contain - National Instruments PC-TIO-10 User Manual

Introduction
The timing circuits on the board make the PC-TIO-10 useful for the following operations:
• Wave and pulse generation
• Frequency shift keying (FSK)
• Pulse-width measurement
• Time-of-day counting and alarm generation
• Event counting
The digital I/O lines on the PC-TIO-10 interface the PC to the following:
• BCD-compatible panel meters and test equipment
• Opto-isolated, solid-state relays and I/O module mounting racks
The PC-TIO-10 turns the PC into a timing and digital I/O system controller for applications in
laboratory testing, production testing, and industrial process monitoring and control.

NI-DAQ has a library of functions that can be called from your application programming
environment. These functions include routines for analog input (A/D conversion), buffered data
acquisition (high-speed A/D conversion), analog output (D/A conversion), waveform generation,
digital I/O, counter/timer, SCXI, RTSI, and self-calibration. NI-DAQ maintains a consistent
software interface among its different versions so you can switch between platforms with
minimal modifications to your code. NI-DAQ comes with language interfaces for Professional
BASIC, Turbo Pascal, Turbo C, Turbo C++, Borland C++, and Microsoft C for DOS; and Visual
Basic, Turbo Pascal, Microsoft C with SDK, and Borland C++ for Windows. NI-DAQ software
