How to add DaqMX task to existing project

[Mgann]

I'm using Measurment Studio 2010 with Visual Basic. I created a NI Daq Windows appplication with an analog input Daq task component. 

Now I need to add additional DaqMX tasks (Digital In and Digital Out tasks) to the existing Visual Basiic project.

How can I do this?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

To begin, here is a tutorial with attached code which creates a DAQmx task for digital output to Visual Basic 6.0 http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2174 which you can use to modify to fit your application.

In addition, there are already Visual Basic DAQmx examples available with your NI-DAQmx driver installation located in the default install directory C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\Visual Basic 6.0.

In here, you will find examples for Analog I/O, Digital I/O, and Counter apps. You can take these examples and incorporated them into your existing Visual Basic project so you don't have to re-invent the wheel.

Hope this helps!

Hi Aldo im currenttly working in a project that resembles the same issue posted here.. When i run the config asssitant it allows me only to use a waveformgraph to display the data issued on the task but i dont see the option of where to choose if i wanted to display it in a textbox and not in the waveform  for example...
