National Instruments Documentation
The SC-2043-SG User Manual is one piece of the documentation set for your 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 might have are the LabVIEW and
LabWindows
®
/CVI manual sets and the NI-DAQ manuals. After you set up your hardware
system, use either the application software (LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI) manuals or the
NI-DAQ manuals 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.
