Emulating a daq device

[Parkland]

Hi,

I scoured the internet and have to admit defeat. Maybe I'm wording my question wrong...

Im making a program, and it's able to recieve data stream from ni usb daq, but on another computer I need to somehow create a virtual daq device emulating a NI 9234 or similar with 4 analog channels. 

I can't use the available network drivers etc it's not that simple as the program is choosing what data source to use on the fly to the emulated device so the only way is to be able to send data streams to emulated device, or purchase a usb digital to analog device which is too costly on top of the other devices. 

Anyone do this or know what i should look for? 

I know labview let's you create a emulated device but there doesn't seem to be a way to push a data stream into the emulated device...

Have you tried to create a simulated DAQ device in MAX?

Hi , 

The emulated device shows up to the program but you can't push waveform data into the emulated device. 

If I could push waveform data to the emulated device that would be ideal. Is there a way?

No.

When you want to provide your own signals/waveform data then you need to implement your own HAL (hardware abstraction layer)...

Thank you sir. 

I guess I will look into making a HAL or accept giving up lol
