NI-Serial Software Overview
The NI-Serial software for Windows Me/9x includes a native Windows 
device driver that provides full interrupt-driven, buffered I/O for multiple 
COM ports. You can obtain a maximum baud rate of 460.8 KBaud on the 
PCI-485 and 115.2 KBaud on the PCI-232. You can also use up any 
number of serial ports under Windows Me/9x. The NI-Serial software also 
includes a configuration utility, which is fully integrated into the Windows 
Me/9x Device Manager. For more information about software 
specifications, refer to Appendix D, 
The NI-Serial software includes the following components:
Device driver
Diagnostic utility
Configuration utility
Product manuals
The NI-Serial software supports all National Instruments serial hardware, 
including the AT, PCI, PXI/CompactPCI, and PCMCIA versions.
Time-Saving Development Tools
Your kit includes the NI-Serial software for Windows Me/9x. In addition, 
you can order the LabWindows/CVI or LabVIEW software from National 
Instruments to speed your application development time and make it easier 
to communicate with your instruments.
LabVIEW is an easy-to-use, graphical programming environment 
you can use to acquire data from thousands of different instruments, 
including IEEE 488.2 devices, VXI devices, serial devices, PLCs, and 
plug-in data acquisition boards. After you have acquired raw data, you can 
convert it into meaningful results using the powerful data analysis routines 
in LabVIEW. LabVIEW also comes with hundreds of instrument drivers, 
which dramatically reduce software development time, because you do not 
have to spend time programming the low-level control of each instrument.
LabWindows/CVI is similar to LabVIEW, except that it combines an 
interactive, easy-to-use development approach with the programming 
power and flexibility of compiled ANSI C code.
