Config_DAQ_Event_Message() Location

[angelmcdoggie]

Dear All,

I am reviewing the Overview of DAQ Events and Occurrences tutorial and this function, Config_DAQ_Event_Message has been mentioned for several times.  I tried searching all over my National_Instruments directory but I cannot find this function.

I am using a Measurement Studio 8.1.1 version.

Thanks,

A

Hello A,

The Config_DAQ_Event_Message is a Traditional NI-DAQ function.  If you're unable to locate this function in Measurement Studio then it’s likely that you do not have Traditional DAQ installed.  Unless you're hardware only supports Traditional NI-DAQ I would recommend using NI-DAQmx and referencing this KnowledgeBase article for information on how to handle events:  DAQmx Event Handling in LabWindows/CVI

Also, since these functions are in dll's I wouldn't expect a search of the National Instruments folder to fix these functions.  As long as you have Traditional DAQ or DAQmx installed you have these functions (assuming you selected to include text-based supprot when you installed these drivers).  Depending on what programming environment you're using you can use these functions as long as you've included the correct header/library files.

Cheers,
