About This Manual
© National Instruments Corporation xiii NI 6115/6120 User Manual
configuration instructions, specification information about the DAQ
hardware, and application hints.
• Software documentation—You may have both application software
and NI-DAQ documentation. NI application software includes
LabVIEW and Measurement Studio. After you set up the 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 the 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 the
connections.
