Figure 1-1. The Relationship between the Programming Environment,
NI-DAQ, and Your Hardware
Register-Level Programming
The final option for programming any National Instruments DAQ
hardware is to write register-level software. Writing register-level
programming software can be very time-consuming and inefficient, and
is not recommended for most users.
Even if you are an experienced register-level programmer, consider
using NI-DAQ or other National Instruments application software to
program your National Instruments DAQ hardware. Using NI-DAQ,
ComponentWorks, LabVIEW, or LabWindows/CVI software is easier
than, and as flexible as, register-level programming, and can save
weeks of development time.
