NIDAQmx.h documentation

[instrumento]

When I look at NIDAQmx.h in an editor I see lots of C functions that are not listed anywhere in the NI-DAQ C Reference Help.

Where are they documented?

Can you give some examples for this?

What language/development environment are you using?

I did say:

thus I thought it was obvious that I'm using C/C++.

A subset of the functions defined in the .h file are documented (in the terse sense that NI help files usually explain things) in  NI-DAQmx C Reference Help.

Functions like DAQmxGetSysDevNames are in there, but others like DAQmxGetSysNIDAQMajorVersion, even though this one is easy to guess what it does, needs and returns, and many others where that is not so obvious, are not.

You could use LabWindows/CVI, GNU or VS. For example.....

Documentation is quite often an issue, sometimes missing, sometimes out of date or plainly wrong.

I think, NI is doing a quite good job, but even NI does not have documentation for everything. So maybe you can provide a list of all functions you require help and post it. We (the community) can then try to give some hints or documentation on those items.

I can image that some functions are not documented in the C reference help, but are in CVI......

That function is in my version of the c reference. Do you have a an actual list of functions you could not find when doing a search?

[instrumento]

Reinstalled the latest NI-DAQ and now I can find everything (that I've tried so far).

Either I was looking at the wrong version or had some of the search options incorrectly set.

Thanks ...
