NI recommends you use an available NI native .NET API instead of using a source code wrapper API. Please read about the differences between NI native .NET APIs and source code wrapper APIs at .NET Resources for NI Hardware and Software. If you must use a source code wrapper API, use the following table to locate the correct version for the version of the NI-DCPower driver you are using.
For general programming reference, please refer to the NI DC Power Supplies and SMUs Help.
