This chapter briefly describes how to use NI-IMAQdx functions in 
Microsoft Visual C and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.

This section outlines the process for developing NI-IMAQdx applications 
using C. Detailed instructions about creating project and source files are not 
included. For information about creating and managing project files, refer 
to the documentation included with your particular development 
environment.

The generic and high-level functions appear within each function class in the logical 

order you might need to use them. The low-level functions appear within each function 
class in alphabetical order.

When programming, use the following guidelines:

•

Include the 

niimaqdx.h

 header file in all C source files that use 

NI-IMAQdx functions. Add this file to the top of your source files.

•

Add  the 

niimaqdx.lib

 import library to your project. In some 

environments, you can add import libraries simply by inserting them 
into your list of project files. In other environments, you can specify 
import libraries under the linker settings portion of the project file.

•

When compiling, indicate where the compiler can find the NI-IMAQ 
header files and shared libraries. You can find most of the files you 
need for development under the NI-IMAQ target installation directory. 
If you choose the default directory during installation, the target 
installation directory is 

C:\Program Files\National 

Instruments\NI-IMAQdx

. You can find the include files under the 

include

 subdirectory. The import libraries for Microsoft Visual C++ 

are located under the 

lib\msvc

 subdirectory.
