National Instruments USB 6002 read data in Qt Creator

I ran the code you have mentioned above, it ran successfully
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
DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChanfailed.)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' "

Does it means its working? I dont understand.
I mean to say what should be the output of the code?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:

@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.

Error code for DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan(): -88302Error -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(): -200478See 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 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.liblocated on your computer?

@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!

Hi @smanchineella,
...\lib\msvc\NIDAQmx.libsuggests that this is an import library for MSVC compiler. It does not say if that import library is for 32 or 64 bit. Both can be a problem.In principle, you cannot mix MSVC and MinGW compiler, so you will either need to switch to MSVC too, or find an include lib for MinGW.
Also, make sure both have the same bitness, otherwise it will likely also fail.

Based on the installation folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\...under Windows 64 bit, we can assume it's a 32 bit version of the library.@smanchineella as @aha_1980 mentioned please pay attention at the compiler and bitness of the library you're trying to use.

@Pablo-J-Rogina @aha_1980 When I downloaded the NIDAQmx file from the NI website, it said it includes both 32 and 64 bit import library depending on the bitness of the computer and the compiler. However, based on your both replies, how would I go about installing a 32 bit MSVC library and linking that in?

I am using the default compiler which came with qt (I believe it is MinGW-64 bit).
The online Qt installer provides both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of MinGW. There is no default; you select the one you want to install.
You must install 3 things:
- A compiler
- Qt libraries
- DAQmx libraries
All 3 things must have the same bitness, and the Qt libraries must match your compiler.

The compiler for NIDAQmx.lib doesn't really matter because it is a C library, not a C++ library.
@smanchineella said in National Instruments USB 6002 read data in Qt Creator:

You already have 32-bit DAQmx libraries. Now you need a 32-bit compiler and matching 32-bit Qt.
- Download the 32-bit MSVC compiler from Microsoft: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/features/cplusplus/
- Run MaintenanceTool.exe in your Qt folder and install Qt 5.15.2 for MSVC2019 (32-bit)

While it is true you can use a C-API DLL with both compilers, the same is not true for the import library, at least based on my experience.
When I downloaded the NIDAQmx file from the NI website, it said it includes both 32 and 64 bit import library
Then these must be somewhere in the directory tree, please have a look.
However, based on your both replies, how would I go about installing a 32 bit MSVC library and linking that in?
That's not what I said. I said, if you only get an import library for MSVC, then you have to use the MSVC compiler to use that lib.

Ah, I see. I'd better double-check the libraries then.
