Creating Custom IO Driver for a 3rd party hardware using Measurement Studio

[josteece]

Hello All,

I am trying to creating a custom IO Driver for a 3rd party hardware using NI Measurement Studio.

Please kindly point me in the right direction. 

I will appreciate any help.

Thank you.

Hi Josteece,

Just a few questions so I can point you in the right direction, 

What hardware are you trying to create this driver for?

What language are you using?

Which version of Visual Studio are you using? (Year and type eg, 2008 express / pro etc)

What version of Measurement Studio have you got?

Do you have access to any of the DLL's for the device you are using and if so is there any documentation from the supplier?

Thanks,

[josteece]

Hi Owen,

Thank you for your reply.

The hardware is just a 32 bit microprocessor (device) development board from microchips.

Intend to use normal ANSI C which is the IDE supplied by microchip to program the microprocessor (device). I intend to create a windows based driver to allow me communicate with the microprocessor. I intend to use CSharp or VB to develop the graphic user interface that will communicate with the device.

I am currently using Visual Studio 2005 and Professional edition of Measurement Studio.

There is no dll for the device. I would have to create one by myself since I am designing the device from the scratch. 

Regards,

Josteece

Hi Josteece,

As you are using mostly 3rd Party software and hardware there will be a limit to the amount I can help. To get started you might find it helpful to look at these links:

These aren't exactly what you are looking for but they may help to get you started.

Have a look through the help files and examples as these can be quite useful.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
