NIDisk User Guide

The NIDisk User Guide (this document) is installed as a PDF (Portable Document Format)

file in the \docs directory under the SIGNAL root directory (normally c:\Program

Files\Engineering Design\Signal 4.0). PDF files require the Acrobat Reader program from

Adobe Corporation for viewing. If not already installed, this program is available for free

download at

http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html. Acrobat Reader is also

required by Help | User Guide on the NIDisk menu.

Acrobat Reader provides full text search capability, which can be used like an index, to find

occurrences of a particular word or phrase in the document. To perform a text search, select

Edit | Find in the Acrobat menu.

This guide can be accessed from the NIDisk menu at Help | User Guide.

3. Getting Started

Connecting Signals to the I/O board

See Appendix D, "I/O Hardware Connections" in the SIGNAL Reference Guide for

important notes on connecting signals to the I/O board.

NOTE: if you are running the version of NIDisk which supports high-resolution output

synchronization, you must make certain digital connections in order to perform analog

I/O. See "Triggering an External System from NIDisk" below for details.

NOTE: this capability is not supported in NIDisk 3.0.
