Can't find a library (without Measurement Studio)

[J_Kidd]

Hi everyone,

I'm using Visual Basic with VS2010 to create a project to read a NI device. I have downloaded the examples of NI for VB, but I have several problems.

1) The examples use a library, NationalInstruments.DAQmx, but when I write other example and import the library the program doesn't find the library.

2) When I try to modify the examples I can't use the NI objetcs, even if I copy and paste them. For instance, I copy physicalChannelComboBox and when paste I see only a ComboBox. In the left pannel I can't find this objetcs.

I can't use Measurement Studio.

Thanks for all.

Hi,

Did you install NI-DAXmx? DAQmx comes with the hardware you purchased.

Measurement Studio isn't free. Did you purchase and install it?

I have downloaded the DAQmx. I have downloadad the NI examples for .NET 4.0.

I can't afford the MS, but I think that it is not necessary for my project.

My problem is that I can't find the NI library, and I can use the NI objects in VB, even if I am using an example.

Hi,

Did you set a reference to DAQmx library? You can't just use the Import function.

No, that is the problem, I don't know how to do it... Thanks.

Hi,

Goto menu 'Project->Add Reference' then select the DAQmx library in the list box.
