Will Labview Student Edition work with DAQCard AI-16E-4?

[BrowningG]

Hello Lamdabobo,

Thanks for contacting National Instruments. 

The <a href="http://www.ni.com/labviewse/" target="_blank">LabVIEW Student Edition</a>&nbsp;will work with the Traditional DAQ driver. &nbsp; The Traditional DAQ driver is available for download <a href="http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/570/lang/en" target="_blank">here</a>. &nbsp;

The Traditional DAQ driver includes examples for Visual Basic.&nbsp; The path to these examples can be found in the <a href="http://ftp.ni.com/support/softlib/multifunction_daq/traditionalnidaq/7.4.4/nidaq_readme_traditional.html" target="_blank">readme file</a>. &nbsp;

Please post back if you have any questions.&nbsp; Have a great day!

Hello Lamdabobo,

The best way to get started with programming with Traditional DAQ is to look at some examples and go from there.&nbsp;

Since you installed Traditional DAQ before you installed LabVIEW, the Traditional DAQ API may not have installed support for LabVIEW.&nbsp; After you have installed LabVIEW, run the Traditional DAQ installer again and ensure that support for LabVIEW is installed.&nbsp;

There are several examples for using Traditional DAQ in LabVIEW that are included when the driver is installed.&nbsp; The NI Example Finder can be accessed from LabVIEW by going to Help-&gt;Find Examples.&nbsp; The Traditional DAQ examples can be found by selecting to browse according to directory and are located in the folder daq.&nbsp; The different example types are sorted by folder and a good place to start would be the examples located in the anlogin folder.&nbsp; The example Cont Acq&amp;Chart (hw timed).vi will continuously acquire voltage from your DAQ card and plot it in a chart.&nbsp; This is similar to running a test panel in Measurement and Automation Explorer.&nbsp;

Please post back if you have any questions.&nbsp; Have a great day!
