NI 435x User Manual
The NI 435x DAQ devices are Plug and Play compatible and are fully
software calibrated. Because the NI 435x devices work with a variety of
operating systems, you can develop applications that scale across several
platforms.
A system based on NI 435x devices offers flexibility, performance, and
compact size, making it ideal for service, repair, and manufacturing and for
use in industrial and laboratory environments. The NI 435x devices,
used with the computer, are versatile, cost-effective platforms for
high-resolution measurements.
Detailed specifications for the NI 435x DAQ devices are in Appendix A,
Specifications.
Using PXI-compatible products with standard CompactPCI products is an
important feature provided by the PXI Specification.
The NI PXI-4351 does not have connections to reserved lines on the
CompactPCI J2 connector. Therefore, you can use the NI PXI-4351
in a CompactPCI system that uses J2 connector lines for purposes other
than PXI.
The NI 435x is a completely software-configurable, Plug and Play
instrument. The Plug and Play services query the instrument and allocate
the required resources, and then the operating system enables the
instrument for operation.
