Data Read Event in NI-DAQmx

[LogicT]

Hi,

I'm new to NI-DAQmx, I'll develop DAQ applications with VB.Net and DAQmx but feel maybe it's better to try with VB6 first. I've looked at the examples for DAQmx 7.5 using VB6, but have not been able to find an equivalent event to the CWAI_AcquiredData(,) event for the activeX controls in traditional NI-DAQ. My applications will continuously acquire analog data and should parse data in such an event if there is one. Is there a data read event in DAQmx for continuous acquisition? 

Look forward to your advice.

Thanks in advance,

LogicT

Hi LogicT,

The best place to look for what events are available to you is in the NI-DAQmx C Reference Help that installs with the driver at Start >> Programs >> National Instruments >> NI-DAQ.  The functions will basically be the same in VB.  To find the event functions in the help file, browse to NI-DAQmx C functions >> Task Configuration and Control >> Events. 

Hope this helps,

Laura
