No data acquisition hardware

Hi,

This may sound like a stupid question, but I am new to LabWindows/CVI and was hired by someone to develop a project for him. I am trying to wrap my mind around everything, and I am having trouble getting the Dig Pulse Train-Cont example project to run successfully.

It compiles just fine, but I get an error after clicking Start that I do not have a DAQ device. I assume this is because I own no physical data acquisition hardware. Is there any way to use a fully "virtual" device, just for the sake of testing code?

I apologize for my ignorance, though I have spent hours trying to figure this out, and the documentation is very difficult to approach as it seems to assume a very high degree of familiarity with NIDAQmx to begin with. Thanks in advance for your help.

NIDAQmx 7.4 allows you to make simulated devices. I've only used a simulated device for analog input.

You should use, as is said above, DAQmx 7.4. You can download it for free from NI, and expecially, you need MAX (NI measurement and automation software), included in the driver DAQmx. I'm not really sure, but it is easy to check!

Bye.
