Programming NI-6052 using VC++ to Display data in Graph or Chart

[SnowBoy111]

Hi

I am using Visual C to acquire the data and display it . I successfully run the example shipped with Labview CD  located in (C:\programm files\Naitonal Instruments\nidaq\examples\ANSI C). for AI of single Voltage channel. 

But how to display the Acquired data to graph or Chart ? and also how to Store in a file?

help will be appreciated

thanks

Hi Haider,

If you are using Visual C++, you should consider purchasing Measurement Studio.  If you are just starting out, have you ever thought of moving to .NET (C#, VB.NET)?  Measurement Studio provides a variety of UI compnents, analysis libraries, hardware APIs, etc that you could use.  May not be possible but just thought I would throw that in there.

Just some thoughts!

Best Regards,

I am interested using through only Visual C++

(I have visual Studio cd)

I am able to include the header file NIDAQmx.h and library and all its functions are working well.

Hi Haider,

Yes, you can do data acquisition without having Measurement Studio. However, you mentioned you wanted to display the data in a graph or chart which Measurement Studio does provide. Perhaps in the future you might want to perform some analysis on this data. Well, Measurement Studi also provides analysis libraries that can do that for you as well.

Just some thoughts!

Hi,

If you purchase the Measurement Studio for Visual Studio 6.0 Support package (comes with the Professional or Enterprise pacakge of Measurement Studio), you get VB 6 and VC++ 6 support. The VC++ 6 support uses the same ActiveX controls as you see in Visual Basic. To get those controls, you need to get the Pro or Enterpise package.

Hello,


I've only heard that Gigasoft's charting is absolutely an improvement over
Measurement Studio's built in charting. Faster, way more robust, way better
rendering and far more attention to detail. Plus an easy API to use as
needed independent of development platform. Please visit www.gigasoft.com
for engineering, scientific, and instrument/oscilloscope type charting for
Measurement Studio, MFCs, .NET and others.
