Data Acquisition Palette and PCI-6229

[NIquist]

No, the M-series DAQ family have very different hardware optimized for DAQmx and therefore don't work with traditional NiDAQ.

... but I have a nice E-series 6036 I'd be willing to trade for your 6251...

Sophie,

If you want to make the 6229 or the 6251 (or the 6259, or any of the other M-series boards) work, you must rewrite your program in LabVIEW 7.1 or higher, using the DAQmx functions.

The "traditional" DAQ functions, which your LabVIEW 6i program contains, will not work with the M-series boards.  Therefore you must rewrite the program if you want to use an M-series board.

LabVIEW 6i does not support DAQmx.  LabVIEW 7.1 does.  Therefore, you must rewrite your program in LabVIEW 7.1 (or a newer version of LabVIEW, such as LabVIEW 😎 in order to use the DAQmx functions.

If you do not want to rewrite the program, then you must get a different board.  I believe that you will have to use an E-series board, since they are the last boards that will still work with the old DAQ functions.

Does that help clarify what you need to do?  Either rewrite the program usingLabVIEW 7.1 and DAQmx, or buy an E-series board.

Thanks, DianeS!

I guess I have to rewrite the program.

This may assit in your transition from DAQ to DAQmx:
