Delphi and DAQ Card

[Duncan Rumbold]

Hi,
for a particular project I'm working on, I'm using a National
Instruments LAB-PC-1200AI card. The thing is, I have to be using Delphi as a
programing language rather than LabView which makes things rather tricky.
Does anyone know how I can access the card (in particular use the digital
I/O lines) with this language? Are there any libraries/function libraries
that can be accessed through Delphi or even C++ ? What about the Nidaq
drivers, are they DLL files that contain functions that I can access through
Delphi?

Thankful of any feedback,
Duncan Rumbold

You should have the CD that came with the DAQ board. If not, you can
download the driver from the NI ftp site. I believe that it comes
with Delphi examples, and yes, the NIDAQ drivers are a DLL and a DLL
interface.

You could also use National Instruments ComponentWorks. They are a suite of
32 bit ActiveX controls complete with controls for UI, Acqusition and
Analysis. They also come with examples for VB, VC and Delphi. Download an
evaluation version at http://www.natinst.com/cworks/cw_eval.htm
