Use the NI-HSDIO instrument driver to program the PXIe-6544/6545/6547/6548 to generate or acquire data.

NI-HSDIO supports programming the PXIe-6544/6545/6547/6548 in the following ADEs.

  • LabVIEW—NI-HSDIO configures and operates the device hardware and performs basic waveform generation and acquisition using LabVIEW VIs. Available on the LabVIEW Functions palette at Measurement I/O » NI-HSDIO.
  • C or LabWindows/CVI—NI-HSDIO configures and operates the device hardware and performs basic waveform generation and acquisition using LabWindows/CVI functions. Available at Program Files » IVI Foundation » IVI » Drivers » niHSDIO.
  • Microsoft Visual C/C++—You can modify an NI-HSDIO C example to create an application with Microsoft Visual C/C++. Copy an NI-HSDIO example to copy required project settings for include paths and library files. Alternatively, refer to Using NI-HSDIO in Visual C and C++ in the NI-HSDIO User Manual to manually add all required include and library files to your project. Use examples located in the Users\Public Documents\National Instruments\NI-HSDIO\examples directory.
