Help with DAQ C/C++ interface

Hi,

Are there any tutorials and/or code examples about how to use the C/C++ wrapper for DAQmxBase ?

I made my software under LabView, but I now need to create a GUI-less application in C/C++ to make measurement from my DAQ Hardware.
Working under linux, i don't have Visual C++ or such editors, but just a simple text-editor.

As an example, i wish to do something like : "to print in console the voltage on AI0 every 5 seconds."

Thank you.

I joined here the VI that I'd like to "translate" in C, but with no gui (like no graph, or so...), I just want to use the stdoutput to print the pulse count.

I'm developping under GNU/Linux using a simple Text Editor (gedit) and gcc.

Where can I find the file to import all necessary functions (I only found NIDAQmxBase.h) ?

I don't know where everything is installed on a Linux system, but on my Macintosh there are lots of C programming examples installed along with the header file and the lsdaq and mxbaseconfig applications. I would assume you have those examples, you just have to figure out where they are.
