| 1-3 Analog Output Series User Manual Caution To ensure the specified EMC performance of the DAQCard-6715, the length of the I/O cable must be no longer than 3 m (10 ft). For all other products, the length of the I/O cable must be no longer than 30 m (100 ft). DAQ Hardware DAQ hardware digitizes signals, performs D/A conversions to generate analog output signals, and measures and controls digital I/O signals. Figure 1-2 shows the c ...

Calibration Circuitry Calibration is the process of making adjustments to a measurement device to reduce errors associated with measurements. Without calibration, the measurement results of your device will drift over time and temperature. Calibration adjusts for these changes to improve measurement accuracy and ensure that your product meets its required specifications. DAQ devices have high precision analog circ ...

| 1-7 Analog Output Series User Manual Custom Cabling Follow these guidelines if you want to develop your own cable. • Route the analog lines separately from the digital lines. • When using a cable shield, use separate shields for the analog and digital halves of the cable. Failure to do so results in noise coupling into the analog signals from transient digital signals. Table 1-3 shows the recommended connectors to use with the ...

Programming Devices in Software National Instruments measurement devices are packaged with NI-DAQmx driver software, an extensive library of functions and VIs you can call from your application software, such as LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI, to program all the features of your NI measurement devices. Driver software has an application programming interface (API), which is a library of VIs, functions, classes, attribu ...
