Interface NI boards with PC using VB 2010 and wihout having NI measurements studio

[SaGowid]

Dears,

I am wondering if I have to have the NI measurments studio 2010 to interface NI DAQ boards with PC. If "NOT", from where can I get the required dll to create a new task using visual basic 2010 (visual studio 2010) and how can I link and use it?. I have already installed the NI-DAQ.max v 9.1.7.

With thanks,

Hi SaGowid,

You do not have to have Measurement Studio to program for a DAQ device.  If you have Visual Studio 2010 installed, the DAQmx installer will install .NET 4.0 support and examples by default.  If you do not have them installed, re-run the installer and make sure it is selected for installation.

Once you have the .NET 4.0 support installed, you can go to Start >> Programs >> National Instruments >> NI-DAQ >> Text Based Code Support >> .NET 4.0 Examples to find the examples that demonstrate how to use the API in Visual Basic.
