The NIDAQmx driver cannot be used with multifunction data acquisition cards not manufactured by NI. That is, the DAQWare for NI DAQmx application software is not available for multifunction data acquisition cards manufactured by third parties.

DAQWare for NI DAQmx typically supports functions involving analog input channels (Analog Input), analog output channels (Analog Out), and counters (Couter). These data acquisition functions are enhanced by DAQWare for laboratory desktop applications, covering the instrument functions of traditional desktop instruments, such as: oscilloscopes, signal generators, programmable power supplies, multimeters, baud plotters, spectrum analyzers, etc.. It also provides practical functions beyond traditional desktop instruments such as data logging, collaborative data analysis, and advanced programming.
