DAQ devices by National Instruments Corp. are accessed via the NI-DAQmx API (nicaiu.dll), mediated by the configuration software Measurement & Automation Explorer (NI-MAX), which is responsible for detecting all DAQ devices on a network and managing all Tasks configured for those respective DAQ devices.

This Driver imports these Tasks configured in the software Measurement & Automation Explorer (NI-MAX) and performs a collecting of data in which these Tasks were built.
