National Instruments Documentation
The PC-OPDIO-16 User Manual is one piece of the documentation set for your data acquisition
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:
• Your DAQ hardware user manuals—These manuals have detailed information about the
DAQ hardware that plugs into or is connected to your computer. Use these manuals for
hardware installation and configuration instructions, specification information about your
DAQ hardware, and application hints.
• Software manuals—Examples of software manuals you may have are the LabVIEW and
LabWindows
®
/CVI manual sets. After you set up your hardware system, use either the
application software (LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI) manuals or the NI-DAQ chapters in
this manual to help you write your application. If you have a large and complicated system,
it is worthwhile to look through the software manuals before you configure your hardware.
• Accessory 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.
