Problem:
How do I write an application in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 that uses the National Instruments NI-HSDIO driver? Are there any examples that I can use?

Solution:
National Instruments does not currently offer a native Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 API for High Speed Digital I/O instruments. 

To write an application in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 using the NI-HSDIO driver you will need to use the attached wrapper. This wrapper was developed using the ANSI C API that is installed with the NI-HSDIO driver.

This wrapper was created for use with NI-HSDIO version 1.4.2 and above.

To use this wrapper with an existing Visual Basic 6.0 project, please take the following steps:
  1. Go to the Project Explorer.
  2. Right-click on the name of your project
  3. Select Add » Module
  4. Select the attached hsdio.bas file.
If you are looking for Microsoft Visual Basic 6 examples that use NI-HSDIO, they can be found in the related links section of this document.
