I'm working on a set of code using the NationalInsturuments.NI4882 net library.
Most everything is working as I've used the examples, ect.
But for the life of me, I can't find the actual .NET Documents on what commands / functions are what.
All the documents PDF, Readme.txt, HLP Files,ect point to the older documents that use commands like GPIB.ildev(pad,sad,tmo,eot,eos) ect.
the documents then let you know what pad, sad,tmo,eot,eos ect are. Great if I'm using that funciton.
But now I'm using
MyDev = new NationalInstruments.NI4882.Device(Card,Channel);
MyDev.IOTimeout = TimeoutValue.T1S;
MyDev.TerminateReadOnEndOfString = false; ect...
The commands I found via the examples, but no documentation on what all the functions are / do.
Example what is the difference between

Are you looking for the NI4882 Namespace? It has classes/structures/enums, etc and has a small description for each. To navigate there go to Start » All Programs » National Instruments » NI-488.2 » NI-488.2 .NET Framework 3.5/4.0 Help
Expand: NI Measurement Studio Help » Measurement Studio Overview »NI 488.2 Overview (as in the attached picture) and click on NI-488.2 .NET class library. Click on any of the NI4882 links in the document.

I am trying to view the 488.2 .NET Framework 4.0 Help file as described, but the window that opens up does not appear to load correctly, and I can't select anything (see attached). Nothing shows up on the page unless the cursor is over the words "code all". The PC is running Windows XP. Can anyone show me how to access this help information?

Microsoft made changes to their help software that released with Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0 which made it difficult for us to automatically configure the help for our software. This is probably why you are having this problem. This has been fixed with Visual Studio 2010 SP1, but in the meantime I have linked below two approaches to configuring the help with Visual Studio 2010. Keep in mind that the help for our .NET APIs are part of the Measurement Studio help, but Measurement Studio is not required to install these help files.
