VB.net How to Reset Device Like VB6

[Antony_Australia]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to reset my PCI-6220 in VB.net code. I have it working in VB6 using the following code but can not find the same commands in VB.net. The program is written for shop floor people and if readings do not come in at the desired time I them to be able to reset the card rather than using MAX (Measurement & Automation). Thanks in advance

Private Sub CommandReset_Click()
    'Stop and Clear The Task Here
    DAQmxStopTask taskHandle
    DAQmxClearTask taskHandle
    'Reset Device
    DAQmxResetDevice "Dev1"
    taskIsRunning = False
End Sub

Hi Antony_Australia,

There is a .NET reset function that can be accessed. 

Try this:

DaqSystem.Local.LoadDevice("Dev1").Reset()

Where Dev1 is the device name.

Hope this helps!
