instrument driver - labview V6.0 with iDSC 1816 data acq. board fr. Microstar

[zai]

Hi,

I'm using Labview V6.0 with iDSC 1816 data acq. boards fr. Microstar
to monitor vibration.
I'm having problems due to 'instrument driver' needed to run the
boards & most of Labview examples & features.

Has anybody had the solution to this?.

TQ.

Have you tried getting driver software from Microstar? If they don't have something already, you'll have to write your own if they provide a .dll.

to write my own driver.?

Any data acquistion examples that are linked from LabVIEW only work with National Instruments boards. This is because they use the NI-DAQ driver which is only for NI's boards. To use third-party DAQ products with LabVIEW, the manufacturer must either supply a LabVIEW driver or a library of functions so that you can program the board.
