I have three NI cards in my machine: PCI-6602, PCI-6120, and PCI-MIO-16E-4 (aka PCI-6040E). For some reason my measurement & automation explorer (MAX) does not see them as I would expect. It sees the PCI-MIO card in both the DAQmx and Traditional NI-DAQ folders, yet it only sees the other two in the Traditional NI-DAQ folder. I should be seeing them all as DAQmx as far as I know. I read in a post in this forum that I may be a corrupted MAX database; therefore, I renamed it and rebooted to no avail. I have applications that I have programmed in Delphi that see, acess and use all three cards using traditional DAQ, so I know they are working, at least in some capacity. When I use LabVIEW, it sees only the PCI-MIO card for the DAQmx operations, and I would love to find a way to make it see all three of them as DAQmx. I believe that all three cards are compatible with both DAQmx and Traditional DAQ. My installed software versions are: LabVIEW 7.0, MAX 4.2.1.3001, NI-Spy 2.0.0.16, NI-488.2 1.70, NI-DAQmx 7.0.7f0, NI-PAL 2.0.0, NI-SWITCH 2.00.49156, NI-VISA 3.1, Traditional NI-DAQ 7.4.4f7 (I have also tried version 6.9.3f4 with no success).
I hope that this is something with a simple fix.
Thanks in advance for those that take the time to read and reply to this message.
