The NI-SCOPE SFP acquires,
controls, analyzes, and presents
data, similar to stand-alone
oscilloscopes. The NI-SCOPE SFP
operates on the PC, so you can view
and control waveforms directly
from your computer. You can also
run multiple sessions of the
NI-SCOPE SFP simultaneously.
NI-SCOPE configures and operates
the device hardware and performs
basic waveform acquisition and
measurement options using
LabVIEW VIs or LabWindows/CVI
functions.
You can modify an NI-SCOPE C
example to create an application
with Microsoft Visual C/C++. Copy
an NI-SCOPE example to copy
required project settings for include
paths and library files.
Alternatively, refer to the Creating
Users
an Application with Microsoft
Visual C and C++ topic of the NI
High-Speed Digitizers Help to
manually add all required include
Documents
and library files to your project.
