NI LabVIEW SignalExpress Limited Edition
NI-DMM 2.7 and later includes a stand-alone, evaluation version of NI LabVIEW SignalExpress that 
allows you to quickly configure your NI hardware to acquire, generate or perform hardware comparison 
using your DMM. LabVIEW SignalExpress LE gives you a 30-day trial of the Full Edition of LabVIEW 
SignalExpress. After that period, you must activate your version of LabVIEW SignalExpress LE, which 
is free, or purchase the Full Edition. If you activate your version of LabVIEW SignalExpress LE before 
your 30-day trial of the Full Edition is complete, the full features are still available for the remainder 
of your 30-day trial.
NI-DMM Instrument Driver
NI-DMM features a set of operations and attributes that exercise all the functionality of the DMM, 
including configuration, control, and other module-specific functions. NI-DMM controls all NI digital 
multimeters.
Refer to the Programming section of the NI Digital Multimeters Help at Start»All Programs»National

NI-DMM in your applications.
NI-DMM Examples
The NI-DMM examples are instructional tools that demonstrate some of the functionality of the DMMs 
you can use or integrate into your systems. NI-DMM includes examples covering single point 
measurements, multipoint measurements, triggering, waveform acquisitions (NI 407x only), and 
performance (NI 407x only).
Tip For best accuracy, NI 407x users should run the Self-Cal example after the DMM has been 
installed and has warmed up.
Refer to the Examples section of the NI-DMM Readme file at Start»All Programs»National 
Instruments»NI-DMM»Documentation for a complete example list. Refer to ni.com/zone 
for examples that use National Instruments DMMs with National Instruments switch modules.
