USB-6216 Drivers for Windows without full NI-DAQmx suite.

[mattcrow]

Hi there,

I'm creating an application in .NET, I'm using USB-6216 to do some analog measurements, drive some relays and read digital ios.

On my development machine, I have the full Suite of NI-DAQmx installed. No problems there, everything works fine.

On my target devices (another Windows machine), do I always need to install all of the packages that come with NI-DAQmx? The installation is annoyingly lengthy because of all of the components that are being installed.

I have downloaded ni-daqmx_20.0.0_offline.iso, is there a way to install only the necessary packages through the offline.iso?

I would only like to have the USB-6216 driver, and just the necessary packages I need to talk to it.

Regards,

Matt

Hi,

As I know, there is no option to install only the necessary packages of NI DAQmx through the offline.iso?

If you have an application, and it is needed to run on another computer that doesn't have the NI-DAQmx driver installed, you can install the ~200 MB NI-DAQmx Runtime and save some space on your disk.

The DAQmx Runtime needs to match the version of the DAQmx driver of the Machine that the executable was developed.

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the suggestion, that would probably save some disk space and reduce the installation time.
