Regarding DAQmx driver

prp123 — Tue, 09 Jun 2015 15:27:16 GMT

Hi,

I am using Labview Student Edition 2014 and i dont have any NI hardware.

In that i already installed DAQmx driver and I need to see where DAQmx driver installed ???

Using DAQmx driver, can i connect my own hardware board.

Is it compulsory to have NI hardware connection with my own hardware ?? or any other possiblites

No, you cannot use DAQmx with your hardware and you've already been told this. You will have to write your own driver to connect to whatever physical interface that you are using. You previously said that your custom hardware connects via an Ethernet connection and you want to use tcp/ip. If you have changed your mind, explain what you want to do now. If you still want to use tcp/ip, then you have also been told where to find the LabVIEW examples. You will NOT find example code for your custom device here.

Unknown since you have not provided the details on your hardware. This has nothing to do with LabVIEW and I don't understand why you don't see that. You have, presumably, some micro on your device with a way to store and load a program. This program would probably be written in c.

Since you are using LAN, look at the examples in the LabVIEW Example Finder (Help->Find Examples) for the TCP/IP communications. Since you are the only one who knows what the commands and responses are, you need to program this protocol.

That sure looks like a board that you would have purchased and not designed. You need to contact the vendor to see what sort of api they provide. That's work that you need to do and should have done when you selected that board. You haven't even provided the name of the vendor so I don't understand what sort of help anyone here can provide.

Board name is Embrick. We are updating the PLC to Labiew. So we need some help on Labiew. How to configure digital I/O, Analog I/O.

Then you need to go talk with the manufacturer of that board and ask them for the communications protocol. There is nothing anybody can do without that.

You've wasted s lot of time because of your very poor descriptions. If you had said it was third-party hardware (not 'my' hardware) and provided the manufacturer, we would have reached this point with your first post.
