Hi all!
I already used Veristand long time ago (2011) and i created severeal custom devices. Now, i try to remember how to do and i searched a manual on the web. I'm a little bit surprised the only manual i found is exactly the same i used 10 years ago i.e. NI VeriStand 2010 Custom Device Developer’s Guide (Beta) .
There is no update of this manual since 10 years ???
Do you have maybe more recent documentation i can use to create my Custom device ?
Thanks for your help !

Hey,
well there is of course online documentation but I'd prefer (and highly recommend) the Custom Device Developer’s Guide as most of it is still valid. Few templates were enhanced and few new useful libraries/addons had been introduced in the meanwhile but in general it's still the same.
Just check this out:

Hi okubik!
I'm a little bit surprise this manual was never updated, but if it still works like that it's ok for me.I will follow this manual and try to remember how it works...
Thanks for your answer

well, the good news is - you don't need to refactor your good old custom devices if you would decide to push them to the new NIVS versions 🙂

I'm not so sure, cause when we tried that on a 2011 good working one, it failed to build with the 2019 version of VeriStand. It seems that some structures or API has changed in the configuration part.

ok, you may be right. There is 4 years cycle for APIs. I think API changed a bit around 2013/14...
