Build Custom Adaptors
An adaptor provides the interface between Data Acquisition Toolbox™ and a DAQ device driver. There are several adaptors for popular vendors available in the toolbox and its support packages. In addition to these, the SDK provides the tools and templates that enable you to create custom adaptors that extend the toolbox support to DAQ devices from other vendors.
The SDK includes a fully functioning demo adaptor. To explore its usage in a data acquisition session, see Session Workflows with the Demo Adaptor.
As outlined in the Adaptor Creation Summary, when creating your own adaptor you can start with a copy of the demo adaptor, and modify it one step at a time. Details and examples are provided in Create Your Adaptor from the Demo Adaptor.
