National Instruments USB 6002 read data in Qt Creator

but the folder is msvc. If i am not wrong this is for Microsoft Visual C/C++.

That's correct. The library was built using Microsoft's Visual C/C++ compiler.

But I am using Qt creator to build my application.So can I use the same libraries for Qt creator also?

First, understand this: A compiler is a tool that takes your source code (*.cpp and *.h files) and converts them into binary files.

Now, Qt Creator is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It is not a compiler. When you use Qt Creator to build a program, Qt Creator simply runs your compiler for you.

Anyway, to answer your last question: Yes, you can use National Instruments' MSVC libraries in your project, even if you're using MinGW. That's because C libraries are compatible across different compilers on Windows. (Note: C++ libraries are different. A C++ library that is built with MSVC cannot be used in a program built with MinGW)

@JKSH I am searching that is it possible to use MSVC lib in MingW and I found the following post
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2472924/linking-to-msvc-dll-from-mingw
and in this post says its not possible. Please have a look

Like I said in my last post, it is not possible for C++ libraries.

However, it is possible for C libraries.

ok.

Can you give me a small example just to check the that DAQ lib is working in Mingw. Its important for me. I am not doubting your intelligence but i want to know how i can use it in a code, i havnt work on this kind of project earlier and have to idea how to do that. Pleas help.

NI has a lot of tutorials on how to use the DAQmx drivers.
For example look at http://www.ni.com/tutorial/5409/en/#toc3

To use a 3rd party library in a Qt-based project, you need to tell your *.pro file where to find the library's headers, and where to find the library's binaries.

The simplest way is to add the paths straight into your *.pro file:

INCLUDEPATH += "C:/Program Files (x86)/National Instruments/NI-DAQ/DAQmx ANSI C Dev/include"
LIBS += "C:/Program Files (x86)/National Instruments/NI-DAQ/DAQmx ANSI C Dev/lib/msvc/NIDAQmx.lib"

Then, in your *.cpp file, just include the library header and call its functions:

// main.cpp
#include <QApplication>
#include <QWidget>
#include <QDebug>

#include <NIDAQmx.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    // Initialize a usual Qt application
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QWidget w;

    // Initialize DAQmx and read analog input (Copied and simplified from
    // http://www.ni.com/tutorial/5409/en/#toc3 )
    TaskHandle taskHandle = 0;
    int32 samplesReceived = 0;
    float64 data[1000];

    DAQmxCreateTask("MyTask", &taskHandle);
    DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan(taskHandle, "Dev1/ai0", "", DAQmx_Val_Cfg_Default, -10.0, 10.0, DAQmx_Val_Volts, NULL);
    DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming(taskHandle, "", 10000.0, DAQmx_Val_Rising, DAQmx_Val_FiniteSamps, 1000);
    DAQmxStartTask(taskHandle);
    DAQmxReadAnalogF64(taskHandle, 1000, 10.0, DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel, data, 1000, &samplesReceived, NULL);
    DAQmxStopTask(taskHandle);
    DAQmxClearTask(taskHandle);

    // Print results
    qDebug() << "Received" << samplesReceived << "points";
    for (int i = 0; i < samplesReceived; ++i)
        qDebug() << data[i];

    // Run Qt event loop
    w.show();
    return app.exec();
}

The example code above does not contain any error handling. You must add it yourself.

thanks @sneubert

@JKSH Thanks. I ran the code you have mentioned above, it ran successfully and got output as "Received 0 points."
Does it means its working? I dont understand.
I mean to say what should be the output of the code?

OK, that means your Qt application successfully linked to the NI DAQmx library.

and got output as "Received 0 points."

That means you didn't manage to acquire any data from the device.

Modify the code to print the return value of every DAQmx* function call. The return value will be 0 if the call succeeded, or non-zero if there was an error.

qDebug() << "Error code for DAQmxCreateTask():" << DAQmxCreateTask("MyTask", &taskHandle);
qDebug() << "Error code for DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan():" << DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan(taskHandle, "Dev1/ai0", "", DAQmx_Val_Cfg_Default, -10.0, 10.0, DAQmx_Val_Volts, NULL);
...

(For example, maybe your device is not called "Dev1", so the call to DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan failed.)

Anyway, you now need to learn how to use the NI DAQmx library to interact with your device. That is beyond the scope of the Qt forum. I suggest you continue at the National Instruments forum: https://forums.ni.com/t5/Multifunction-DAQ/bd-p/250 Introduce yourself and say that you are trying to program DAQmx in C/C++.

Good luck!

@JKSH Thank you so much for your help, it means a lot. One final question if the Qt application did not get linked to the NI DAQmx library then, i would have got the errors because of the use of various function like DAQmxCreateTask.... is it correct?

You're welcome :)

After you create a thread in the other forum, do post a link here, so that anyone else who wants to use Qt to drive NI devices can follow your discussions.

Correct. If your code can't link to the library, then your *.exe won't be created. MinGW will complain something like "Undefined reference to 'DAQmxCreateTask' "

I just had a thought: Was your USB-6002 plugged into your computer when you ran the program?

I tried it with Qt 5.6.2 (MinGW 4.9.2) + a USB-6003, and this is what I got:

It's reading around 0 volts because I didn't connect any input signals.

@JKSH Yes the device is plugged into the computer. But when i see in the NI Measurement and automation explorer its not detected. I read some where if you have USB3.0 drivers then its not detecting the earlier format devices (even it is connected to USB1.0 or USB 2.0) not sure though what is the problem.
I got this

Error -88302 seems to be related to driver problems: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/19E7993CF8366EED8625764200771C68?OpenDocument

Anyway, your issue is definitely under National Instruments territory. I suggest you re-install your DAQmx drivers (preferably the latest version), and if you're still having issues, ask at the NI forum.

Error code for DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming(): -200477
Error code for DAQmxStartTask(): -200478
Error code for DAQmxReadAnalogF64(): -200478

See http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/3efedde4322fef19862567740067f3cc/01d50d3f86ee67d8862576cf00745e78/$FILE/NI-DAQmxErrorCodes.PDF -- Errors -200477 and -200478 mean that DAQmx is complaining that you have no devices or channels.

Once you fix error -88302, these should go away.

(Final note: Since you are getting meaningful error codes from the DAQmx functions, this is further proof that your Qt application has successfully linked to the DAQmx library)

@JKSH It was the problem with NI software and uninstall the full software and install it again and now it works.
I have one more question i want to read the digital Input signal and i am using "DAQmxReadDigitalU16" function to read but i am not getting the ouput
i am getting following error:-
The program has unexpectedly finished.

@JKSH
Hello JKSH as the code above mentioned i can get 1000 sample points when i run the code but if i want to read and store continuously the data from a port of the device how i can do it. Can you please helm me in this?

smanchineella · 8 Dec 2020, 20:35

@JKSH or anyone else how many experience in this field, I have encountered a similar issue to the one you have described in your previous posts. I have copied the sample code you posted above and have done extensive research, yet I am still receiving an error "Undefined Reference to DAQmxCreateTask' and so on for all my DAQmx commanddseventhough I have explicitly defined how the library is connected to the project in the project file as you have described in your previous post with the include path and library path. My paths also match yours exactly so I am incredibly confused on where this error is coming form. I have attached my source code, do you think you could take a quick look at what may be going wrong.

Hi @smanchineella,

some questions:

which compiler are you using?
which architecture, 32 or 64 bit?
where is the file NIDAQmx.lib located on your computer?

Regards

smanchineella · 9 Dec 2020, 19:44

@aha_1980 I am using the default compiler which came with qt (I believe it is MinGW-64 bit). Both the compiler and my pc are both 64 bit. The NIDAQmx.lib file is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\DAQmx ANSI C Dev\lib\msvc\NIDAQmx.lib

Please let me know if you see any issues with how it is setup on my pc. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
