EasyDAQmx is a simple wrapper for the National Instruments NI-DAQmx ANSI C API.
National Instruments provides a powerful and fully functional C developer API for their DAQ hardware called DAQmx. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of easily accessible documentation or examples to get people up and running with it. Furthermore, the library is not beginner friendly with a large amount of configuration necessary before users record thir first data sample.
EasyDAQmx tries to bridge this gap by providing a simple interface/wrapper that
makes using NI-DAQmx easier by (mostly) emulating the function calls a
programmer would make when using an Arduino while also exposing additional
features such as timing and triggering support.
- This wrapper should work on all platforms supported by NI-DAQmx. As of October 2018, NI-DAQmx is supported by Windows and Linux operating systems.
- Before using this library, please install the NI-DAQmx software available on the National Instruments website.
- You need to get a copy of the NI-DAQmx library files from the location where
- they are stored as described on the NI website.
- Maybe move these files to a particular directory?
- You may now use the ArduDAQmx wrapper in tandem with the NI-DAQmx library.
Documentation for the wrapper will be available soon.
