Recommended training for a new Labview user

[JasonW]

Greetings,

I have a need to for Matlab to control the NI-PCI6534 card to send Unstrobed I/O and continuous Pattern I/O using external clocking.  I've tried to have Matlab load the latest nidaqmx library and control it that way, but it's proving to be difficult.

In the past, we had an employee that created a DLL from Labview which performed all the intermediate steps and Matlab just called a single command with the data.  Unfortunately the employee left and we can't find the original code he built in Labview.

So, I'm thinking I should learn enough about Labview to create a similar type of DLL yet I don't know where to begin.  I'm signing up for the Core I training to understand the basics, but I don't know where to go from there yet. 

I'm hoping someone can recommend training or a manual that will explain the process of developing a DLL to control the 6534 (or newer card).

Thanks,

Jason

To learn more about LabVIEW you can go through the introduction material, tutorial(s), and other material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials. There are also several Technical Resources. You can also take the online courses for free. There are also numerous tutorials on the web. A list of links can be found here: http://labviewwiki.org/LabVIEW_tutorial.
