I would like to add to this thread and I'm seeking some help to use the DAQmxSelfTestDevice function I wish to write a program in C to be able to initiate a self test on an NI-9188 chassis.
Background: We test in vehicle and remove the laptop perioticly. when we reconnect, often the 9188 Chassis will not be transmitting signals. a selftest through MAX will usually resolve the issue. for logistics reasons we need an automated way to perform this selftest to avoid missing data with limited user involvment.
I am trying to use Bloodshed coding software to write and compile my C code below is a copy of the program and the compiler errors im receiving.
the header file "NIDAQmx.h" and library file NIDAQmx.lib are present. Any assistance with how to successfully compile this function would be greatly appreciated.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <NIDAQmx.h>
int main(void)
{
const char devicename[] = "cDAQ-9188-182105E";
DAQmxSelfTestDevice(devicename);
return (0);
}
