Over 100 measurement examples squeezed onto free DAQ CD The latest version of the free National Instruments DAQ Designer configuration advisor CD is now available. With more than 100 measurement example programs, its easy-to-use data-acquisition (DAQ) advisor guides users through selecting the right hardware and software tools for their measurement application.

The DAQ Designer 2003 CD is a comprehensive resource for information about NI measurement hardware and software products, including the NI LabView graphical development environment. Users simply answer questions posed by DAQ Designer about their system and application. The configuration advisor then recommends the optimal hardware and software combination to meet their needs. DAQ Designer recommends systems for various applications, such as signal acquisition and generation, data logging, and control and simulation.

This 2003 edition includes customizable example programs for NI LabView, Microsoft Visual Basic, and C. It reduces setup time because it demonstrates how to develop common applications.
