Using LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, or VirtualBench software greatly 
reduces the development time for your data acquisition and control 
application.
NI-DAQ Driver Software
The NI-DAQ driver software shipped with your 653device has an 
extensive library of functions that you can call from your application 
programming environment. These functions allow you to use all the 
features of your 653device.
NI-DAQ addresses many of the complex issues between the computer and 
the DAQ hardware, such as programming interrupts. NI-DAQ maintains a 
consistent software interface among its different versions so that you can 
change platforms with minimal modifications to your code. Whether you 
are using LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, or another programming 
language, your application uses the NI-DAQ driver software, as illustrated 
in Figure 1-1.
