Installing NI-DAQmx driver and LabVIEW on MacOS 14.3

[SL137713]

Hello

I have a cDAQ-SV4202 Bundle and would like to set it up on my Macbook Pro for data acquisition. My operation system is macOS 14.3. However, I could not find any compatible version of the driver and LabVIEW for my laptop. I would appreciate it if you could guide me to this end and provide me with the links if it is possible.

Thanks

Hello!

I believe this won't be possible. The latest version of LabVIEW compatible with MacOS was the 2023 Q3 and according to the readme notes from it (LabVIEW 2023 Q3 for macOS Readme (ni.com)) it is only compatible with MacOS 11, 12 or 13. (Also mentioned here: LabVIEW and macOS Compatibility - NI)

Besides that, I believe there's no DAQmx driver for MacOS, only for Linux and Windows. Only possible way to use a NI DAQ System with a Mac is using the "NI-DAQmx Base", a "limited" version of DAQmx compatible with Linux, MacOS and Windows. (NI-DAQmx Base Download - NI) The problem with this is that the driver is already deprecated, and last version of LV compatible is 2017 (Archived: NI-DAQmx Base and LabVIEW Compatibility for OS X - NI) and the for the OS version of Mac is the 10.14 (Archived: NI-DAQmx Base and Linux / OS X Compatibility - NI)

It technically works also on MacOS 14.4.1 Sonoma. Can't confirm DAQ, I've used this setup just for test of how to call external code written in xcode from LabVIEW.
