DAQ Device Overview
Measure is an easy-to-use spreadsheet interface for acquiring data with
a wide range of National Instruments DAQ devices. Because Measure
works with so many different devices, the functionality and
performance of the software often varies based on the particular DAQ
device you use. Although Measure senses the type of DAQ device you
are using, you might select options in the task configuration that are not
supported by your particular device. Measure notifies you when such a
conflict occurs when you close the configuration window, or when you
test the task you have defined. Make sure to test each task once you
define it.
The following pages contain a tutorial to show you how to use
Measure. Refer to the Managing Tasks in a Workbook section in
Chapter 2, Getting Started with Data Acquisition Tasks, for detailed
information on the analog input and output settings you can configure
with Measure.
Installing Measure

drive.
