NI 6295: According to the manual the direction of the DI/O can be defined. But how?

[Nitester123]

I don't use NI-Software, we want to implement the NI 6259 in our own software.

To do so I need to know how to change the direction of the DI/O on startup.

Is it  an initial message that defines the properties of the inputs and outputs?

If you don't want to use the NI driver with LabVIEW, LabWindows, C, C++, .NET, etc., then you will have to use the DDK to create your own driver.

On the other hand, if you really meant to say that you will be using a standard programming language with the NI driver (called DAQmx), then look for example programs in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples. Go to Start>Programs>National Instruments>NI-DAQ to read the DAQmx help.

Thanks for teh fast reply.

We use Visual Studio, so using the DAQmx Driver should be sufficient for our attain aims.
