Controlling PXI-2501 Switches in C#

[BryanUK]

What is the best - prefered - way to control a PXI-2501/2503 Switch Matrix in C#.

I have only been able to find examples showing SCXI switching units. Is it done in the same way?

Code examples would be nice.

Thanks

I am assuming that the examples you are using are the DAQmx C# examples (Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudio70\DotNET\Examples\DAQmx\Switches).

These examples work for all SCXI and PXI switches that are supported in DAQmx. NI-DAQ 7.1, the currently released version of NI-DAQ driver software, does not support PXI-2501/2503 under DAQmx. These modules will be supported in DAQmx in the next version of the driver.

So when is the new version going to be available?

How can I control the PXI-2501/2503 switches in C# in the mean time?

The new version of NI-DAQ will be available for download on the web on April 19th. This version will have DAQmx support for PXI-2501/2503.
