Can Labview 5.1.1 support NI-DAQ driver 7.0?

[Yilan]

Hi everyone, our computer system is Windows XP, with Labview 5.1.1 installed. Can it support NI-DAQ driver 7.0? Or how could we upgrade Labview 5.1.1? Thank you very much!

Upgrading is easy. Just buy a new copy of LabVIEW. You will also need to upgrade your OS as well.

With 5.1.2 not compatible, it's safe to say 5.1.1 isn't compatible either.

Also keep in mind that to upgrade to anything newer, you will need a copy of LabVIEW 8..2.1 to update the code to that before upgrading to whatever version you want to work with.

If you want to stick with the Traditional DAQ and Windows XP, then I recommend using LabVIEW 8.6.1 with NI-DAQ 7.5.  If you want to update to Windows 7 or a newer version of LabVIEW, then you will need to do some work to change the code from using Traditional DAQ to using DAQmx.
