Insertion and Configuration

Note

These examples of adding "modules" are

specific to the 2680A series. However, NetDAQ

products and 2638A and 1586A products are

added in a similar fashion. These are added as

instruments and channels instead of

instruments, modules, and channels. The menu

shown is based on the instrument type selected.

To insert and configure a module (2680A Series), see the

figure below:

1. Highlight a device in the TreeView panel and click

Insert.

2. Specify the number and type of modules to insert in

the Module dialog box shown below.
