Map LabView VIs to DAQmx functions

[Les Bartel]

I was asked to modify a C++ program to perform a certain task.  I prototyped the task in LabView and then translated it to DAQmx by hand.  The translation process was somewhat tricky in that the names of the VIs didn't always match the function name well.  In particular, some of the polymorphic VIs were tricky.  This tutorial offers a good start of what I would like to see.  Especially important are cases where a single VI may be the equivalent of more than one function call or where one function call may be the equivalent of more than one VI.  In the case of polymorphic VIs, all possible functions should be described.

Hello les,

The NI-DAQmx C Reference Help file, located in Start -> Programs -> NI-DAQ assuming you are using Windows, provides descriptions of all of the functions in the DAQmx API.  This help file provides the same information, but in more detail, as the tutorial Using NI-DAQmx in Text Based Programming Environments. 

Also, National Instruments takes all customer feedback suggestions quite seriously.  Please feel free to submit a product suggestion here.
