Natively Integrated Into Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
NI Measurement Studio tools integrate natively into Visual Studio .NET so you can use them exactly as you would Microsoft tools. Measurement Studio dramatically reduces application development time with project templates, wizards, and hardware API assistants.

Add/Remove Class Libraries Wizard
Integrated Toolbox and Menu
Measurement Studio components are installed into the Visual Studio environment so that you can incorporate the classes and libraries into your code with ease.
The Measurement Studio UI controls appear in the Visual Studio toolbox for drag-and-drop use as you develop your Web or Windows Forms UI.
In addition, Measurement Studio resources such as wizards, examples, help documentation, and online content are easily accessible through the menu installed into the Visual Studio menu bar.
Project Templates
Project templates help you get started quickly by automatically including all the necessary Measurement Studio and NI hardware driver libraries you need to design your measurement application.
Add/Remove Class Libraries Wizard
Adding or removing references to Measurement Studio class libraries from a project is a simple process of checking the appropriate boxes in the Class Libraries Wizard.
Hardware API Assistants
Use the NI Instrument I/O Assistant and DAQ Assistant to interactively define your acquisition and generation tasks and automatically generate code for your project. Perform a test-run within the assistant window to view the data immediately—you can tweak the settings before generating ready-to-run code. The hardware API assistants discover and insert valid parameter values into your code for DataSocket, DAQ, GPIB, and Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA) methods.
Measurement Studio Help
As you work with Measurement Studio, you might need to consult other resources. For detailed Measurement Studio help, including function reference and in-depth documentation on developing with Measurement Studio, refer to the Measurement Studio Help within the Visual Studio .NET environment. Measurement Studio Help is fully integrated with the Visual Studio .NET help so that you can quickly access beneficial information as you develop.
In addition, use the context-sensitive help to quickly access Measurement Studio function references during development. As you write code, put your cursor on a function name to see the prototype tooltip and description or press <F1> to access the full reference help topic for that function.
