  7. You will be displayed a list of libraries that can be included in your project. Select the National Instruments libraries that suit your application.
    • If you are unsure which libraries to include, we strongly encourage you to start from the Measurement Studio example, located at C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\Measurement Studio\Examples. It comes with source code and necessary libraries linked which good for getting started.

After the libraries are added to the project, you should see the Measurement Studio libraries under the project's references:
