Software Programming Choices
There are several options to choose from when programming the NI plug-in
DAQ and SCXI hardware. You can use LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI,
Measurement Studio, or NI-DAQ.
NI-DAQ
NI-DAQ has an extensive library of functions that you can call from the
application development environment (ADE). These functions allow you
to use all the features of NI measurement products.
NI-DAQ carries out many of the complex interactions, such as
programming interrupts, between the computer and the DAQ hardware.
NI-DAQ maintains a consistent software interface among its different
versions so that you can change platforms with minimal modifications
