Programming Devices in Software

National Instruments measurement devices are packaged with NI-DAQmx driver software, an
extensive library of functions and VIs you can call from your application software, such as
LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI, to program all the features of your NI measurement devices.
Driver software has an application programming interface (API), which is a library of VIs,
functions, classes, attributes, and properties for creating applications for your device.
X Series devices use the NI-DAQmx driver. NI-DAQmx includes a collection of programming
examples to help you get started developing an application. You can modify example code and
save it in an application. You can use examples to develop a new application or add example
code to an existing application.
To locate LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Measurement Studio, Visual Basic, and ANSI C
examples, refer to the document, Where Are NI-DAQmx Examples Installed in Windows?, by
