NI and RealBasic

[gllec]

Greetings.

Does NI have (or plan to have) libraries which can be used with RealBASIC on Mac OS X similar to the NI Measurement Studio (which includes measurement tools for Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, Visual Basic .NET, Visual C#, and Visual C++)?

This would be *very* helpful.

Thanks much.

Hi gllec,

You can find information regarding NI-DAQ support for text-based programming on Mac in the following article:

Text-Based NI-DAQ Programming on Mac OS

Also, you should submit your idea at the following site as a product suggestion.

Does this actually work with OS X?

Hi gllec,

For Mac OS X you will need to use the NI-DAQmxBase 1.4 driver for your DAQ board.

When you install this driver, you will get a C function API that you can use to porgram your DAQ board in text languages. If you are programming in C, you can just call the functions (they are documented in the NI-DAQmx Base C Function Reference Help that is installed with DAQmxBase 1.4). If you are not using C, you can still use it my making calls directly into the DAQmxBase dll.

Could you (or anyone) give me an example of how one would do that (particularly in REALbasic)? I installed what you suggested. I presume the functional part gets installed in /System/Library/Extensions/nirlpdrvk.kext

Thanks much.
