The Synnax Driver supports reading and writing data from National Instruments (NI) hardware, including CompactDAQ, CompactRIO, and PXI systems.
Installing NI-DAQmx and System Configuration Libraries
NI-DAQmx and System Configuration libraries must be installed for the Driver to communicate with your NI devices.
Supported Devices
Synnax supports reading and writing data to all National Instruments devices that are supported by the NI-DAQmx driver.
Aside from very old DAQ modules, Synnax is generally compatible with every NI device.
