7. Programming the Digitizer

You can acquire data interactively using the Scope SFP or programmatically
using the NI-SCOPE instrument driver in your application. You can also run
the NI-SCOPE examples to demonstrate the functionality of the digitizer.

Acquiring Data Interactively

Launch the Scope SFP from Start»All Programs»National Instruments»
NI-SCOPE»NI-SCOPE Soft Front Panel. The Scope SFP provides
context-sensitive help for its controls.

Acquiring Data Programmatically

You can use NI-SCOPE to begin programming the digitizer in your ADE.
Refer to the Programming section of the NI High-Speed Digitizers Help
at Start»All Programs»National Instruments»NI-SCOPE»
Documentation.

NI-SCOPE Examples

Programming examples for using NI-SCOPE with LabVIEW, CVI, and C are
included on the NI-SCOPE CD. For a complete list of examples and their
installed locations, refer to the NI-SCOPE Readme file at Start»
All Programs»National Instruments»NI-SCOPE»Documentation.

NI Example Finder

LabVIEW 7.1 or later and LabWindows/CVI 7.1 or later users can use the
NI Example Finder to search or browse examples. NI-SCOPE examples are
classified by keyword, so you can search for a particular device or
measurement function.
To browse for NI-SCOPE examples available in LabVIEW or
™
LabWindows /CVI
then navigate to Hardware Input and Output»Modular Instruments»
NI-SCOPE (High-Speed Digitizers).
