Difference between Measurement Studio and NiDAQmx ?

[iitkgp.vidyut@gmail.com]

What is the main difference in Measurement Studio and NIDAQmx. I have a DAQ software, which was initially developed in M Visual C++ 2003, which was originally using Measurement Studio. Now I want to  replace measrement studio by NIDAQmx latest release. Is it Possible to do it?

Hello,

Measurement Studio is an extension to Visal Studio, which contains a variety of libraries for measurement applications as well as user interface elements like graphs.

DAQmx is the hardware driver framework for NI Multifunction DAQ devices. If you use a DAQ board you need this driver to access it, with any programming environment (LabVIEW, CVI, C, C++, .NET).

This means you can access the hardware also with Visual Studio, which has no Measurement Studio installed. Though Measurement Studio makes analysing and presenting the acquired data much easier.

Kind regards,
