Why can't visual basic 6 load CWDAQ.OCX in the example programs? I am using the latest Measurement Studio 6 and VISTA OS.

Can someone help me with getting controls to work with Visual basic 6 in an Vista environment?  I cannot get the examples to work that use the CWDAQ.OCX control.  I did a search on my computer and the file is not even there.  What functions are in CWDAQ.OCX?  Is there a descriptions of what functions are included in this control and other controls?  It is not obvious where to find these descriptions. 
I did install Measurement Studio 6 with all the options for Visual basic 6.
I am new to programming NI cards with visual basic so any help in getting me started will be greatly appreciated. 
I need to talk to a PCI-6110 card in visual basic 6.  I would like to preprogrammed the D/A fifos, store to two analog inputs simutaneously, and use some of the digital I/O.  Can someone direct me the direction as to what controls I need to use?
Thanks in advance for any help or guidance. 
Tony

Hi Tony,
So the reason you can't find the CWDAQ.OCX ActiveX controls in VB 6.0 in Vista is because that is a Tradtional DAQ (legacy) control meant to work with the Traditional DAQ Driver.
The Tradtional DAQ drivers aren't officially supported in Windows Vista (KnowledgeBase 4FDH4MZN: Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) for Windows Vista OS) and so the CWDAQ.OCX controls don't get installed.
However, the good news is that the PCI 6110 is a newer card that uses our newer driver, NI-DAQmx. DAQmx is supported in Vista and you can communicate to your card from VB 6.0 using DAQmx in Vista.
There are several examples that show you how to communicate using DAQmx in VB 6.0.
These can be found in:
<Users>\Public\Documents\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples
This is also mentioned in the following Knowledgebase article:
KnowledgeBase 47CCSQ5B: NI-DAQmx, NI-VISA and NI-488.2 .NET Example Locations
Also, the DAQmx functions are documented in the following locations:
Start»Programs»National Instruments»NI-DAQ»NI-DAQmx C API Visual Basic 6.0 Help
Start»Programs»National Instruments»NI-DAQ»NI-DAQmx C Reference Help
Hope this helps!!

  • Why can't I sync my music with my iPad mini? I am using the latest version of all software available

    I don't understand why I cannot sync any of my songs with my ipad mini through itunes. Please help

    Hello cwill2
    Change one of the options to sync, like check to see if you are Manually managing your music and videos. If you are you can drag and drop the music you want to your iPad mini. If you are not, then check the things that you want synced in the music tab when looking at your iPad mini in iTunes. Either way, change it and sync, then revert the changes and you should be able to get your music on there.

  • Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud.

    Remote location, 7kbs d'load speed, 10 days to d'load Lion, only software updates are through the App Store. Why can't we d'load and install outside the Cloud anymore? Some of us can't use the cloud and never will be able to.

    That is true - I apologize for not being specific - what I was mainly referring to is iLife applications. I have a notice on the App Store that says 3 apps need updates, I look at the apps and they are huge so since my connection is so slow I use my work connection and d'load the files from support to my Windows machine and carry them home, once d'loaded my MacAir states it cannot install, the update must come from the App Store.
    I do the same thing for large Leopard and Lion files and I can install them without error, it is just the App Store files that the system stops.

    Hard to say. Why don't you tell us your OS, and how you are trying to download it, and what if any error messages you are getting.

  • Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

    Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

    Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

  • I have transferred a load of files from my PC to my iMac using the migration assistant.  The message on both machines say that the process was successful bu tI can not find the files on the mac.  Any ideas?

    I have transferred a load of files from my PC to my iMac using the migration assistant.  The message on both machines say that the process was successful but I can not find the files on the mac.  Any ideas?

    When you use Migration Assitant it creates another user account and puts your files there. Please log out of your normal account and log into the new account. Had you use Setup Assistant when it asked if you were migrating that would not have occured. You have a couple of options, combine the two accounts (not recommended) or start over, use Setup Assistant and have everything in one user account. Here is a link to Pondin's guide for Lion Setup Assistant tips however if you want to combine the two accounts he has addressed that in

    Hello Andra,
    It sounds like you are not able to access the iTunes and App Stores on your iPod touch.  I found an article with steps you can take to address issues like this.  The steps in this article address both the iTunes and App Stores:

    why can't I print from my 4s to my HP envy. I used to work and it still works from my air book?

    Morning thomas b olsen
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    How to print in iOS
    You can print from the Apple applications, such as Mail, Safari, Photos, Camera, Maps, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Filemaker Go, and so on. Apps available from the App Store may also offer this feature.
    To print, follow these steps:
    Tap the action icon .
    Tap the Print button.
    Select the appropriate settings, and then tap Print.
    Important: If you are printing for the first time, or if the previously selected printer is not available, you will need to select a printer before step 3.
    Note: AirPrint displays only the essential printer options that apply to the document or image being printed. Details such as media type, page size, and orientation are automatically determined at print time.
    Hope this helps,

  • Why can I not set a member attribute when there is only one child below the member?

    Why can I not set a member attribute when there is only one child below the member?The "member attribute" tab on the properties window of App Manager is grayed out. What am I forgetting?TIA,Craig Wahlmeier

    Most likely because Essbase is creating an implicit share relationship between the two members, which is causing the association tab to be grayed out. Tag the parent member with the "Never Share" attribute and see if that fixes the problem.Regards,Jade-----------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

  • Why do I have to search for a wifi network most every time I use the internet?

    Why do I have to search for a wifi network almost every time I use the internet?
    We have Cox internet on a wireless router.
    It doesn't seem to be able to hold the wireless connection.....even a couple hours.
    The router sits on the desk next to the computer.
    Thanks for any suggestions you have.

    I don't have any trouble connecting to the internet once I choose our network from the choices.
    The computer just can't remember it.

  • Why doesn't my iTunes Radio give me the option to customize stations using "play more like this" and "never play this" in the star menu?

    Why doesn't my iTunes Radio give me the option to customize stations using "play more like this" and "never play this" in the star menu?

    You can only "play more like this" on your custom stations. The pre-programmed ones cannot be altered, at least to my understanding
