Managed Components Works

[Tyzack]

Hello-

 Our current software uses the old Legacy DAQ drivers and the Components Works activeX controls that go with them. In updating our project to both use new drivers and new cards, the Legacy DAQ drivers no longer work, obviously. So, background aside, is there an equivalent set of controls installed with the 8.7.1 DAQmx drivers? The controls actually are not nessacry. All that is really needed is a way to capture the CWAI_AquiredData and CWAI_Error events.

Thanks,

-Bill

Edit: I forgot to mention that the I was looking for C# controls/ C# visiable events.

Hi Tyzack,

Those ActiveX controls are using the legacy Traditional DAQ driver and not our latest suggested driver of DAQmx. NI's efforts now are geared toward the DAQmx driver which is must easier to use.  In .NET, we have native DAQmx assemblies that you can use to program your data acquisition card.   Since it sounds like you might be transitioning, we have an awesome tutorial called Transition from Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) to NI-DAQmx using Microsoft Visual Basic .NET.  I know its in VB.NET but the majority of concepts of transitioning still apply to you even in C#.

Review that tutorial and then let me know if you have any other questions.

Best Regards,
