NI-DAQmx is a software driver developed by National Instruments that enables communication between LabVIEW and data acquisition (DAQ) devices. It provides a set of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that allow developers to interact with DAQ devices, such as multifunction I/O (MIO) boards, analog output (AO) boards, and digital I/O (DIO) boards. NI-DAQmx supports a wide range of DAQ devices from NI, making it a versatile and widely-used driver.
Here is the cruel trick: The DAQmx installer does install LabVIEW 2017 support files. You can find them at: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2017\vi.lib\DAQmx ni-daqmx driver support for labview 2017 is missing
: NI might be phasing out NI-DAQmx in favor of newer driver architectures, such as NI-DAQmx .NET or the DAQ Express VIs, aiming to modernize and streamline their software offerings. NI-DAQmx is a software driver developed by National
