How do I access CF 6004 data from VB.net?

[Mayu]

I have a VB.net 2003 application for display of data acquired.

How do I get access to the data acquired by CF 6004 in VB.net?

Hello Mayu,

The only way to program an NI CF-6004 is with the LabVIEW PDA for PocketPC module, using the API provided by the NI-DAQmx Base driver.  There is no way to program this device with VB .NET, but you should submit a product suggestion for this feature to be added.

I hope this information helps,

Why do I need LabVIEW PDA?

In the documentation, it states that the functions can be accessed by C. I've just installed NI-DAQmx Base, and am writing a wrapper for the dll in VB.net.

If LabVIEW PDA was used, and dlls produced from it. I'll still need to write some interface to the dlls for accessing the data in VB.net.

Hello Mayu,

Accessing the CF-6004 on  Pocket PC device with the NI-DAQmx Base driver can only be done with the LabVIEW API.  The NI-DAQmx Base documentation states that the driver provides support for programming in LabVIEW or ANSI C on a Windows 2000/XP environment.  However for accessing a PCMCIA, USB or CF data acquisition device on a Pocket PC 2003 mobile device, you can only use the LabVIEW API and this requires LabVIEW PDA 8.0.1. 

For further explanation, take a look at the readme for the driver and Jesse's comments in this post.

I hope this helps,
