NI-DAQmx raw C tutorial - or FAQ

Is there somewhere a tutorial on using NI-DAQmw C functions, without the help of any other NI software?
Up to now, I have only found the list of C functions in the NI-DAQmx help...
Thanks!

The best source for help is the NI-DAQmx C Reference Help. It contains description of functions and properties, but it also contains a number of topics under NI-DAQmx Concepts that you might find useful.

You can find it in the start menu, under Programs>>National Instruments>>NI-DAQ>>NI-DAQmx C Reference Help

Don't you think that the NI-DAQmx C Reference Help is pretty useless when it comes to use NI-DAQmx directly from C? It even lacks a tutorial!
I think it is deceptive to claim to offer interface to C programs when adequate documentation to this interface is lacking...

The best Lib help files have a working sample for every function.
NI think we are mind readers with there help files.

Under your NI-DAQ installation directory (...\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ), you should find an Examples directory containing a number of common DAQ applications written using only C libraries and the NI-DAQmx C API. Hopefully, those examples will help you out.
