I don't know this device and National Instruments products much but a quick search lead me to the DAQ Getting Started, Read Me First: NI-DAQmx and DAQ Device Installation Guide which mentions C. The more detailed NI-DAQmx Readme mentions MFC 9.0 C++ examples in the folder *...NI-DAQ\\Examples\\MStudioVC2008 so I assume you will need a full NI install first, then you should search for the examples folder.

Further search gives the Download NI-DAQmx Shipping Examples page from where drivers can be downloaded and which points to the NI examples page where you can search for DAQmx and can download simple examples eg digital port read/write in C as well. Also this page states that the examples are installed only when a compatible version of NI-DAQmx is installed, not necessarily with LabView itself.
