How to use simple NI-DAQmx C API in .NET, C#

[TarPista]

Hi everyone!

I thought to share the solution for the subject with people like me, who are already familiar with the DAQmx driver and want to use it in .NET, C#. Its quite simple, you only need to import the DAQmx functions you want to use from the "nicaiu.dll", and take care for the parameter types. Thats all. So what I have is this (it only contains the main functions and constant variables I have ever used, but any other function can be imported in the same way).

Hi TarPista,

Thanks for sharing your experience. You can see an usefull knowledgebase Programming NI-DAQ in Visual C# .NET on how is possible to use DAQmx with .NET.

National Instruments provides a native .NET API for NI-DAQmx. This is available as a part of the NI-DAQmx driver, just install it manually (Do I need Measurement Studio to use NI-DAQmx in .NET).

Cheers,

Stefo
