Using .net compact framework, NIDaqmx and visual studio.net 2003 to program the CF-6004?

[AndyRitson]

I wish to use a compact flash acquisition system without access to labview. I have VS.net 2003 and the compact framework installed. I have previously written programs for a competitive product using a .DLL file to access the routines and I was wondering how the CF-6004 could be accessed similarly. I will be using the Smart Device VB.Net solution in visual studio.

Hi Andy,

The CF-6004 was created specifically for the LabVIEW PDA module. It might be possible to program by direct calls to DAQmx Base with Visual studio and the compact framework but as this is not intended operation National Instruments would not be able to support this.

OK, I will try this as I note the number of examples for measurement studioVS2003 under DAQmx using VB.NET. The task as I understand it are changing the GUI to work under the compact framework, some recoding to suit the above and referencing the DAQmx. I am using windows mobile 2003 on a recon rugged pocket pc. Anyone who has an interest in this as a solution or previously used this approach are welcome to  give feedback via this board and I will contact or reply.

There are two attachments in this link, one is a VB6.0 program for windows with a wrapper class for niDAQmxBase, the other is the required .DLL file.

Using these it is relatively easy to use VB.Net in VS.Net 2003 and program a smartdevice application for use with the CF-6004.

Is there an API available?
I am using VB.net 2003, and am writing a plugin for CF 6004 DAQ.
