Hi Resistol!

The first step is that you must get the DAQmx driver from www.ni.com and install it. On the installation process support for Visual Studio 2010 will be added as well as some examples that you can use to start programming your USB 6008.

The driver version you need is 9.3, you can download it on the next link (registration to the webpage might be needed) for free:

https://www.ni.com/en/support/downloads/drivers/download.ni-daq-mx.html#288341

After that the examples are installed into the shared documents folder, depending on the name and OS of your PC, for example for me, they are at:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\DotNET3.5

Your framework should be the 4.0 as of Visual Studio 2010.

Let me know if you need more instructions.

Have a great day!!
