NI-SCOPE Tutorial

Example Programs

NI-SCOPE ships with several examples that demonstrate some basic digitizer applications. You can find these examples at Start»All Programs»National Instruments»NI-SCOPE»Examples.

Note    The NI-SCOPE examples assume that you are already familiar with your ADE. If you are unfamiliar with your ADE, consult an introductory text on the ADE before you begin the Getting Started example.

NI-SCOPE provides the same functionality in two different formats—as virtual instruments (VIs) in LabVIEW and as functions in traditional programming languages.

Basic Steps

The tutorial explains how to do the following:

  1. Initialize the session.
  2. Configure an application.
  3. Acquire data.
  4. Retrieve error information.
  5. Close the session.

After you finish the NI-SCOPE Tutorial, you can find more advanced information in the following sections:

  • Acquisition Functions
  • Configuration Functions
  • Attributes and Attribute Functions
