How to install an USB6229BNC to be used as an IVI device under teststand?

[Eselchen]

I have to install an USB6229BNC on an Laptop running Win7 /64. This will have to be accessed under Teststand 14 as an IVI device. So what do I have to install in which sequence? And how will the device be accessed later in Teststand?

This is, what I tried until now:
The first part described in the help file was to install NIDAQ861. Having done that, I found the device in the Windows Device Manager. But no access in any way to the device was possible.
After installing NIDAQ1600f0 I found the device in the NIMAX, so my hope was, that I could start to setup the device as IVI. In fact I could start to edit the driver session, but on the software tab I stuck again, because the device wasn't specified in any way.
So I think, I need some help how to install which driver in which sequenceand where do I get the API to access the device after that.

Thanks in Advance

AFAIK there is no IVI class that would cover any DAQ device - http://www.ivifoundation.org/about/instrument_classes.aspx

You can use the USB-6229 in TestStand directly using the DAQmx driver with this toolkit: http://www.mesulog.fr/produits.php?art=3&lang=en

Hello, Stockson,

thanks for the info... I was in the opinion having read this. I wonder, what I've missunderstood in the docu.

Thanks for the links, I'll try the toolkit.
