IPCI-6229 card

[john7]

I have PCI-6229 data aquisition card. I want to work with the card without LabView or Measurement Studio but with Visual Studio Express 2010 - C# and....what do I need else

and how to get it?

[john7]

well...it was rhetoric question cause NI makes it impossible to work with its hardware without The software (LV or Meas. Studio).

Nonsense. All that you need is the DAQmx driver. There are examples included when you install the driver.

Hi john7,

NI tries to make it fairly simple to use our hardware without LabVIEW or Measurement Studio. DAQmx, our driver package for our hardware, has a C, C# and VB .NET API. If you download DAQmx from our website, you will find a folder containing all of our text-based examples. These will populate in your program files under the National Instruments>>NI-DAQ folder and be entitled Text-Based Code Support. Measurement Studio simply provides extra User Interfaces, Analysis options, data communication configurations, and a few other functions. While development may be slightly easier with Measurement Studio, it is not necessary that you use it. Let me know if I adequately answered your question.

Best,

Hi Jason-M,

Thank you for your answer.

While installing DAQmx 9.6 i get a message:

I installed DAQmx 9.6 on "clean" PC. Sorry but failed to find Text-Based Code Support in National Instruments>>NI-DAQ. I found some examples on NI site, the examples based on NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll and NationalInstruments.Common.dll. Created a new project. On Framework 4 references i see only NationalInstruments.Common.dll, no  NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll. But its getting warmer. 🙂

[john7]

No luck so far. How many shaman dances i should perform to get it working? 🙂

Hi john7,

Depending on what O.S. you are using, they might be in a different place. Take a look at the following documents:

Text Based NI-DAQmx Data Acquisition Examples

Where Can I Find NI-DAQmx Examples

Using NI-DAQmx in Text Based Programming Environments

Locations for the NI-DAQmx .NET Help Files

Happy coding!

Hi Jason-M,

Thanks again for your help. I think kind of retarded cause under this path : C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples i found only DAQmx ANSI C folser with plain C examples. No mention about .NET.The only thing i need is dll's for .NET 4.

Best Regards.

When you installed the DAQmx driver, did you actually look at what was being installed for code support or just let it default? Do a repair on the installation and I think you should be able to explicitly select to install .NET support.
