Questions about USB-6008

[Frank]

I need a simple (low cost) USB DAQ
so I was thinking to get the model
NI-6008.

Can I use VB6 to program it?

NI provides (on the bundled CD), dll,
library, samples on how to
program it (with VB6)?

Thanks in advance,
Frank

The USB-6008 is supported by both DAQmx and DAQmx Base, so you can definately use a USB-6008 with Visual Basic 6 through the DAQmx API.  Information on how to get started can be found at this link:

While the DAQmx driver is the preferred API under Windows, you may also use the DAQmx Base driver with VB 6 if you prefer.  It is slightly more work to set up however.  Instructions on how to do that can be found at the following link:
