Installing drivers for NI USB 6501

[fazr]

Hi All,

I recently developed a c# application that uses the NIDAQmx library to read the digital IO channels from the device.

Everything works great. However, the device comes with a DVD that includes LabView, Management Studio and tons of stuff that I really don't need.

I really want to package the application with only the Windows drivers. Is there a way to download only the drivers? Or do I have to install all the stuff that comes with the device?

currently I install the whole thing on the client computer and it takes forever to install. All I want is the Digital IO drivers and the .NET stuff so my application can run properly.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

DAQmx Base?

You want the core runtime for DAQmx. Note that it does not include MAX.

p.s. DAQmx base is a different driver than DAQmx and would require you to rewrite the code.

Hi Dennis,

Thank you so much!

That looks like exactly what I was looking for. I will give it try.

Best,
