Getting started with ULx for NI LabVIEW

The ULx for NI LabVIEW is a library of virtual instruments (VIs) used with
MCC hardware to develop instrumentation, acquisition, and control
applications in NI LabVIEW 2010 or later. The ULx for NI LabVIEW
library syntax is consistent with LabVIEW DAQmx VIs.

The ULx for NI LabVIEW library is task-based. Every measurement or
output operation performed in a DAQ operation, such as analog input,
digital output, and so on, is a separate task. Each task is associated with one
hardware device and one or more channels of the same type.
