This document is about the NI Instrument Simulator User Manual, which describes the features and characteristics of the product.
The NI Instrument Simulator User Manual describes how to configure the device to emulate either a GPIB or a serial instrument. It explains the rear‑panel switches, address settings, and mode selection for G‑mode and S‑mode operation.
The manual also includes the complete command set, waveform format details, and example programs for LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and IBIC, helping users integrate the simulator into test and debugging environments.
The NI Instrument Simulator is warranted against defects for two years from the date of shipment.
Figure 1‑1 on page 8 shows the simulator rear panel with the configuration switches.
