nidaqmx nidaqmxbase

[MagnusBL]

Hi everyone

I am just starting out with c++ programming using NIDAQmx functions. In the examples I have found, functions are called "NIDAQmxSomeFunction" whereas in the documentation I have foundt the functions are called "NIDAQmxbaseSomeFunction". What is the difference between the functions with and without the base. Where can I find documentation for the functions wihtout the base word if there is an important difference.

Kind regards,

Magnus Lilledahl

I think base stands for "basic functionality" and without base means added features.

Dear Magnus,

thank you so much for your post on our webforum. Please not that DAQmxbase must be seen as a totally different driver tended for other operating systems as Windows. The DAQmx base driver is indeed missing some functionality if you compare this with DAQmx for Windows.

Because it can be seen as a different driver, calling the driver should be different. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Best regards,
