 National Instruments
M1 provides the simplest way to make your National Instruments digitizers and
LabVIEW automation tools more useful and productive to your
measurement workflow. And since M1 works identically with all of your
other oscilloscopes, digitizers, and EDA tools, regardless of manufacturer, you
can easily compare and correlate your NI digitizer results to waveforms obtained
from other sources throughout the product life-cycle. Add in all of the additional capabilities and benefits
M1 Waveform Tools™ provides in measurement sequencing and automation,
analysis and debug, compliance testing, and collaboration, and you'll understand
why ASA is considered the industry leader in waveform usefulness software.
NI Digitizers 
Both our full-featured M1 Waveform Tools product
and our free M1 Waveform Viewer™ support
NI 5000-series
digitizers as a waveform acquisition source. M1 turns your digitizer
system into a fully functional oscilloscope by providing the waveform display and ability
to easily change settings that digitizers lack. In fact, since a digitizer
system isn't limited to the 4 analog channels that most scopes have, your NI
digitizer system becomes a "super-scope", capable of supporting more than 100
analog channels. For more details on how M1 interacts with digitizers,
see ASA Application Note 11-01, "How to set
up and use your digitizer system with M1 Oscilloscope Tools".

NI LabVIEW
 M1 OT is capable of being externally controlled by LabVIEW (or in fact
any other program capable of sending simple XML commands over a TCP/IP
connection), allowing all of its power to be applied to signals you have set up
using the extensive instrument sequencing capabilities that LabVIEW provides.
This connectivity is built into M1 rather than sold as an option due to
ASA's firm belief that all customers should be able to access such
capabilities without having to pay extra for them. An example VI
demonstrating how easy it is to connect to M1 OT from LabVIEW is available in
the M1 Apps Store.
ASA has also offered its dedicated M1/LabVIEW
version, which provides VI 'wrappers' to basic M1 functions for use in LabVIEW,
for over a decade. This is a specialist tool for those who intend to create most of their own analysis routines, and is not recommended for most customers.
