National Instruments Documentation
The PCI-6023E/6024E/6025E 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 manuals you have as follows:
• Getting Started with SCXI—If you are using SCXI, this is the first
manual you should read. It gives an overview of the SCXI system and
contains the most commonly needed information for the modules,
chassis, and software.
• Your SCXI hardware user manuals—If you are using SCXI, read these
manuals next for detailed information about signal connections and
module configuration. They also explain in greater detail how the
module works and contain application hints.
• SCXI Chassis Manual—If you are using SCXI, read this manual for
maintenance information on the chassis and installation instructions.
• Your DAQ hardware documentation—This documentation has
detailed information about the DAQ hardware that plugs into or is
connected to your computer. Use this documentation for hardware
installation and configuration instructions, specification information
about your DAQ hardware, and application hints.
• Software documentation—You may have both application software
and NI-DAQ software documentation. National Instruments
application software includes ComponentWorks, LabVIEW,
LabWindows/CVI, Measure, and VirtualBench. After you set up your
hardware system, use either your application software documentation
or the NI-DAQ documentation to help you write your application. If
you have a large, complicated system, it is worthwhile to look through
the software documentation before you configure your hardware.
• Accessory installation guides or manuals—If you are using accessory
products, read the terminal block and cable assembly installation
guides. They explain how to physically connect the relevant pieces of
the system. Consult these guides when you are making your
connections.
