Data acquisition for virtually any OS
Overview
The quality of the driver software is just as important as the quality of
the measurement hardware. National Instruments provides three levels
of data acquisition (DAQ) software, each with its own unique features.
The result is a complete offering of data acquisition software to simplify
use of National Instruments DAQ hardware in any application.
NI-DAQmx Driver Software
NI-DAQmx is full-featured, high-performance driver software that
maximizes productivity and performance through an intuitive
programming interface and included measurement services. It works
with broad ranges of programming languages, devices, buses, sensors,
and even mixed-signal types. NI-DAQmx is the best option almost every
time for Windows and Linux development.
Note:
National Instruments recommends using the latest version of
NI-DAQmx driver software for application development in NI LabVIEW,
LabWindows
™
/CVI, and Measurement Studio 7.x or later on Windows
and Linux.

Three Levels of DAQ Driver Software
1. NI-DAQmx is full-featured, high-performance driver software that
maximizes productivity and performance through an intuitive
programming interface and added software.
2. NI-DAQmx Base is a basic multiplatform DAQ driver with a subset
of NI-DAQmx functionality.
3. NI Measurement Hardware DDK is a development kit for the creation
of custom drivers using register-level programming.
Note:
Not all drivers work with all devices. Visit

Data Acquisition and Signal Conditioning Driver Software Options
NI-DAQmx Base Driver Software
NI-DAQmx Base offers a subset of NI-DAQmx functionality on Windows,
Linux, Mac OS X, Windows Mobile, and Windows CE OSs. This driver
software includes ready-to-use LabVIEW VIs and C function examples
similar to those included in the full-featured NI-DAQmx software.
National Instruments built NI-DAQmx Base driver software using the
Measurement Hardware DDK and developed the software almost
entirely in the multiplatform LabVIEW graphical development environment.
This lightweight, agile architecture makes it possible to quickly develop
NI-DAQmx Base for additional OSs and devices in the future.
Developers creating applications for Windows or Linux systems
should consider using the latest in full-featured NI-DAQmx.
Measurement Hardware DDK
The Measurement Hardware DDK (Driver Development Kit) provides
development tools and a register-level programming interface for the
development of custom driver software. Designed for OEM customers
developing applications that require nonstandard OSs, it offers access to
the full device register map and provides examples for completing
common measurement and control functions. The Measurement
Hardware DDK works with a selection of NI multifunction, analog output,
digital I/O, and counter/timer I/O devices, including M Series, E Series,
and S Series devices. Standard phone and e-mail support are not
available for Measurement Hardware DDK users.
Developers considering the Measurement Hardware DDK
should also study the advantages of industry-leading NI-DAQmx
and NI-DAQmx Base software.
