Simulate a DAQ device
- If you do not have any physical hardware available, but you still want to follow along with this course, to develop and run your own DAQmx programs, you can create a simulated device. You can simulate most of the devices that are supported by the DAQmx driver to use in your application. DAQMx tasks using the simulated device will be verified programmatically just like a real device. So, if you can figure something wrong or set an invalid property, DAQmx will return the same error for a simulated device, as it would for a real one, which can be useful for basic debugging. The number and type of device resources like channels, trigger lines encounters will match the specific type of DAQ device you choose to simulate, and, as your program uses those resources, they'll be reserved just as they would when programming a real device. To simulate a DAQ device, open measurement and automation explorer, right click on…
