Measurement Studio
If you program your NI-DAQmx-supported device in Measurement Studio

create channels and tasks by launching the DAQ Assistant from MAX or
from within Visual Studio .NET. You can generate the configuration code
based on your task or channel in Measurement Studio. Refer to the
DAQ
Assistant Help

can create channels and tasks, and write your own applications in your
ADE using the NI-DAQmx API.
