What drivers are needed to control the USB-6501 from a C# 2.0 application?

[Bill R]

I want to control a few digital I/O lines, using the NI USB-6501, from a custom application written in C# using Visual Studio 2005.

My question is: what drivers/software do I need to allow me to control the USB-6501 from my application?

Hi Bill,

The only software required to communicate with the USB-6501 in Visual Studio is the DAQmx drivers. When installing the driver, please make sure that .NET 2.0 support is being installed because you are using Visual Studio 2005 . I would also suggest using Measurement Studio when creating your application (link for using c# on the left side of the webpage), as it will assist in creating code for you.
