I have a NI PXI 1042Q Rack with the following boards:
PXI-8106 CPU with XP Pro SP2
PXI-4472
PXI-4351 (2 off)
PXI-6251
PXI-6521
Some of the cards are NidaqMx and other Legacy Nidaq.
I need simple data logging. I dont want to write Labview code.
Has anyone developed a general purpose data aquistion package that can automatically discover NI hardware and allow the end user to easily log and visualise data?
I am currently downloading signal express for evaluation but I dont think ti works for legacy Nidaq type cards.
I dont have any experience with Labview and the timescales dont allow me to invest this time.
What other options do I have?
I am a reasonably proficient .NET programmer and have written some code to retrieve data from NidaqMX tasks created manually in measurement and automation explorer but the code I have written does not work with legacy Nidaq devices.
I need a quick solution. I dont want to re-invent the wheel. I am sure someone somewhere has a fully featured product which if suitable I am prepared to purchase.
Thanks for your help and advice
Andy
