Chapter 1 Introduction

Unpacking

The NI PXI-6682 is shipped in an antistatic package to prevent electrostatic
damage to the module. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage several
components on the module.
Caution Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
To avoid such damage in handling the module, take the following
precautions:
•
•
Remove the module from the package and inspect the module for loose
components or any sign of damage. Notify NI if the module appears
damaged in any way. Do not install a damaged module into the computer.
Store the NI PXI-6682 in the antistatic envelope when not in use.

Software Programming Choices

The NI PXI-6682 uses NI Sync software as its driver.
When programming the NI PXI-6682, you can use NI application
development environment (ADE) software such as LabVIEW or
LabWindows/CVI, or you can use other ADEs such as Visual C/C++ to
interface with the NI Sync software.
LabVIEW features interactive graphics, a state-of-the-art interface,
and a powerful graphical programming language. The LabVIEW Data
Acquisition VI Library, a series of virtual instruments for using LabVIEW
with National Instruments DAQ hardware, is included with LabVIEW.
LabWindows/CVI is a complete ANSI C ADE that features an interactive
user interface, code generation tools, and the LabWindows/CVI Data
Acquisition and Easy I/O libraries.
