Can NI MAX identify thrid part's DAQ modules?

[newbie-2009]

Hi Sir,

I got some third party DAQ and Digitizer modules by e-shop,

Could NI MAX identify third party card modules? just like PXI platform with corresponding ini file?

Or should these thrid party modules have to support NI VISA first? 

Thank you,

No DAQmx will not recognize third-party devices. For the PXI platform, the devices will follow the guidelines for the PXI interface.

What protocols do the device support? How will you communicate with the devices? Will you send commands through one of the supported interfaces or use a DLL?
