USB-6008: VB6 example code & routines to be used without DAQmx driver

[andrea85]

Hi!

I have a little problem using my NI USB-6008. This device lets me to acquire three voltages, that are processed with a Visual Basic 6 code.

In order to acquire that kind of data, I used a VB6 Example Code (included in DAQmx installation folder).

Since I need my VB project installed on many PCs, my question is: is there a way to run that VB project with includes USB-6008 specific routines (such as DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan, DAQmxReadAnalogScalarF64, DAQmxErrChk,...) without installing NI DAQmx on each of those PCs? Could be my NI device and such routines seen without DAQmx driver?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Andrea

In order to use the DAQmx API you will need to have the DAQmx driver installed.

However, if you'd prefer a smaller deployment, you can use the DAQmx 'Core' runtime. This is a minimal package that doesn't include things like ADE support, documentation, or Measurement and Automation Explorer; it's only the core DAQmx driver components.
