How to get config settings from the computer? Does NI exposes some API to get these?

[Mohit__Sharma]

Hi ,

I have some query for card NI-DSA-4451 as follows: 

• Is there a way that I can get the configuration settings from the computer without MAX/ LABVIEW software?
• Does NI exposes some API to get the configuration settings?
• Where can I get some documentation/ sample application on this?

I appreciate any help in this regard.

Regards,

Mohit

What exactly do you mean by configuration settings? The DAQmx API itself allows you to set most of the parameters for an acquisition task. You can take a look at this Knowledge Base for more information: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B9AEF73F91FA67F986256FA500671300?OpenDocument

Correction: The 4451 uses not the DAQmx API, but the Traditional DAQ API. But I'll still need to know what configuration you need to do.

Hi Vaibhav thanks for your reply!

The card configuration settings I am referring are:

• Samples to Read
• Sample Rate
• Terminal Configuration etc.
