Acquire data from PXI device running LabVIEW RT without using LabVIEW?

[debarghya]

I have a PXI 8187 controller running LabVIEW RT and have configured Global Virtual Channels for different measurements on the device using MAX. I wish to communicate and acquire data from the PXI device without using LabVIEW, or more specifically, using text based languages using NI Daqmx libraries. Please help me out in this regard.

Thanks.

Are you referring to this board? http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/13972

Yes.. its the same device

From what I can tell, that board is just a Windows computer.

You can try installing Visual Basic Express 2010 which is free.

Or Python.

It runs Labview RT and I dont intend to convert it into a windows system. What I wish to know is, is there a way in which I can communicate with it using DAQmx drivers only, without the help of Labview. It is important because the system needs to be integrated into an existing system which is written in C#.

I misunderstood your question.

If you are able to communicate to it now from another PC running LabVIEW and DAQmx, then using text-based language such as C# in place of LabVIEW should be possible.

Install Visual 2010. Then re-install DAQmx so it installs support for .NET.
