Hi, do i need all of (Labview, NI-VISA and NI-DAQmx) install on my PC in order to communicate to a hardware. Confused, although i know what all 3 means.

Hi Paul:

 Once you have the NI-DAQmx drivers installed to communicate with your DAQ device, you can use a variety of programming languages.  You can use the DAQ Assistant in LabVIEW for a "wizard" interface or use the lower level DAQmx functions to write your code.  This second part can also be done in a number of text-based programming languages as well including C/C++ and the .NET languages.  You can find some more information on using text-based languages here.
