What is the NI-DAQmx equivalent of the traditional NI-DAQ call "DIG_Grp_Mode" for specifying 653X digital handshaking protocol, edge, and polarity settings in handshake mode?

Hello djm,

There has been terminology changes to the some of the calls to the DAQ drivers
to do specify handshaking protocols and settings. The way you do these in DAQmx
do not map directly.

I would recommend that you take a look at the digital shipping examples for
Visual C or ANSI that install with DAQmx. These can be found in a similar
location on your hard drive
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\

In addition, when you install NI-DAQmx a number of documentation is installed
with the actual driver. The NI-DAQmx C Reference Help is a great source of
information when you are programming with NI-DAQmx in a text base environment.
It will provide explanations for all the functions and properties. It can be
found under Start >> Programs >> National Instruments
>> NI-DAQ

Take a look at these resources. You should be able to get yourself started.

Also, for your interested I also included a link to some information about
transitioning to DAQmx and FAQ.
