Using LabWINDOWS developed a simple SW interface to a NI 6533 card. Need to develop the same SW using Microsoft C/C++. Does anyone know of the necessary support files, etc.? Thank you.

Moving SW from LabWINDOWS to Microsoft C/C++.

Greetings,

You will first want to install support for third party compilers, such as Visual C++. I have linked a Knowledge Base article below which describes how you can do this.

How Do I Install the NI-DAQ Examples for Third Party Compilers (Visual C++, Visual Basic, Delphi, etc.)?

Now you will be ready to run these examples, or compile your existing project which you are porting over. Check out the following Knowledge Base article which explains the necessary files. You will be using nidaq32.lib and nidaq.h.

Now, what calls can you make into the NI-DAQ driver? Here's the API ...
