Making a Measurement

You can make a measurement interactively using the NI-SCOPE SFP or programmatically
using LabVIEW.

Making a Measurement with NI-SCOPE SFP

1. Connect CH 0 to an input signal.
2. Launch the NI-SCOPE SFP from the Start menu.
3. In the Select Device dialog box, select the device name assigned to the device in MAX.
4. Click Auto to adjust the acquisition display.
5. If the SFP is not already running, click Run.

Making a Measurement with LabVIEW

1. Launch LabVIEW.
2. Select Help»Find Examples.
3. Open the example VI that you want to use by selecting Hardware Input and Output»
Modular Instruments»NI-SCOPE (High-Speed Digitizers).

found under Hardware Input and Output»Modular Instruments»NI-
SCOPE (High-Speed Digitizers)»Demos»niScope EX Quick Start.vi.
4. Follow any setup instructions in the VI.
5. In the Resource Name drop-down menu, select the device name assigned to the device in
MAX.
6. Click Run to run the example program.

Setting Up PXI/PCI-5154 for Synchronization

The PXI/PCI-5154 is built on NI Synchronization and Memory Core (SMC) technology and
therefore supports TClk synchronization. To synchronize SMC-based devices and share
triggers or clocks, you must configure components in MAX.
