NI-Digital Pattern Driver includes several examples that demonstrate how to use NI-Digital Pattern Driver to configure and control digital pattern instruments.

NI Example Finder

The NI Example Finder is a utility that organizes examples into categories and allows you to browse and search installed examples. For example, search for "Digital Pattern" to locate all NI Digital Pattern examples. You can see descriptions and compatible hardware models for each example or see all the examples compatible with one particular hardware model.

To locate examples using the NI Example Finder within LabVIEW or LabVIEW NXG, select Help » Find Examples and navigate to Hardware Input and Output » Modular Instruments » NI-Digital Pattern Driver.

Example Programs

To locate programming and operating examples, refer to the following table.
