National Instruments Documentation

The ER-8/16 User Manual is one piece of the documentation set for your DAQ system. You
could have any of several types of manuals, depending on the hardware and software in your
system. Use the different types of manuals you have as follows:
• Your DAQ hardware user manuals—These manuals have detailed information about the
DAQ hardware that plugs into or is connected to your computer. Use these manuals for
hardware installation and configuration instructions, specification information about your
DAQ hardware, and application hints.
• Software manuals—Examples of software manuals you may have are the LabVIEW and
LabWindows/CVI manual sets and the NI-DAQ manuals. After you set up your hardware
system, use either the application software (LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI) manuals or the
NI-DAQ manuals to help you write your application. If you have a large and complicated
system, it is worthwhile to look through the software manuals before you configure your
hardware.
