Hi
I'm a bit rusty with all this, but it seems harder than it ought to be to install the DAQmx driver and write a C# program in Visual Studio 2013. (I just want a plain C# app, not measurement studio, and had fondly imagined there would be a simple example I could copy to start me off).
So I have my brand new USB 6001 working with MAX and Test Panels on my Win7 32-bit system. Bits toggle, voltages are read - all good! But I can't find the .NET example code anywhere. I've read that in VStudio, I need to add 2 references to my Windows Forms app:
NationalInstruments.Common is present - no problem,
NationalInstruments.DAQmx is missing - why is that?
Searching around the C drive, I found NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll dated 2010, left-over from a previous project. Could it be that DAQmx 18.5 doesn't work alongside older versions?
Elsewhere on this forum, someone had a similar problem and was told to install extra stuff manually, so I tried the same procedure, but Control Panel won't allow the installation to be modified - it has to be done by the original install program.
I tried the original installer, using the typical settings, and a message comes up saying no app development environments have been found on the PC, which is a little surprising as I have VS 2013. Otherwise, the installer seems to think it did everything it was supposed to do.
Please can someone help me get started with this?
Thanks
Roy
