Is the DAQ Assistant Supported in Visual Basic 6.0?

Primary Software: Measurement Studio>>Enterprise Edition (Full Development System)
Primary Software Version: 7.1
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I am programming my National Instruments Data Acquisition device in Visual Basic 6.0. Is the DAQ Assistant supported in Visual Basic 6.0?

Solution:
NI-DAQmx includes a type library that will allow you to program your Data Acquisition Device with NI-DAQmx. The DAQ Assistant is a feature that is not directly supported when using NI-DAQmx with Visual Basic 6.0. That is, you cannot invoke the DAQ Assistant from within Visual Basic 6.0 to generate code. However, you can use Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) to define tasks and channels. You can then call DAQmxLoadTask in Visual Basic to use the task.

Please see the link below for more information on using NI-DAQmx with Visual Basic 6.0.
