Instruments DAQ hardware. These ActiveX controls provide a high-level
programming interface for building virtual instruments. For Visual C++
developers, Measurement Studio offers a set of Visual C++ classes and
tools to integrate those classes into Visual C++ applications. The libraries,
ActiveX controls, and classes are available with Measurement Studio and
NI-DAQ.
VI Logger is an easy-to-use yet flexible tool specifically designed for data
logging applications. Using dialog windows, you can configure data
logging tasks to easily acquire, log, view, and share your data. VI Logger
does not require any programming; it is a stand-alone, configuration-based
software.
Using LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, or VI Logger greatly reduces the
development time for your data acquisition and control application.
