Accessing buffer memory

Is there any fundamental reason why I can't read data directly
from memory allocated to a double-buffer that is being filled
via DMA, rather than using NI-DAQ functions DAQ_DB_Transfer
and/or DAQ_Monitor? I realise I will lose some data overrun
error checking, but is that all?

Cheers,
Francis
