National Instrument DAQ Devices with OpenViBE

Hi
I want to use NI DAQ Device for data acquisition in OpenViBE, does Acquisition Sever support NI devices or a driver has to be developed ?

Thanks for your reply.
Regarding to contribution, how a driver can be created for acquisition devices (NI DAQ in my case)

Thanks in advance

Hi Muhslin !

To contribute, you should check the dedicated pages :
- Installation procedure : how to install the source code and compile it
- Contribution rules : how to write the c++ code with the right format if you want to integrate your contribution in the project
- Developer tutorials, especially the driver development tutorial : how to write an openvibe driver

Regarding the driver itself, it is strongly related to the device you are using and how you can communicate with it.
I don't know how NI DAQ devices work, but if you have an API or a protocol, I am sure a driver can be implemented.
