is it possible to use daqmx and traditional daq when both installed in the pc?

[Tokyghy]

hi, i've been facing a problem when trying to communicate with a DIO 6527, i have the DAQmx and traditional DAQ both installed on the pc, when i try to write or read the ports of the DIO it works fine for the traditional DAQ but not for the DAQmx

if theres something i can do to fix the problem

i'll appreciate your help

I don't think using both in the same application is a great idea, not sure it would work in fact!

I've looked through this page and I don't think the PCI 6527 is supported with DAQmx.

EDIT: 

Oh, maybe yes in fact : http://www.ni.com/white-paper/6910/en

What is the issue with DAQmx? Can you give more details about what you're trying to do and that doesn't work?

Have you tried with DAQmx only or is there still some DAQ trad in your software?

I have used the 6527 using DAQmx and Traditional DAQ, just not at the same time.  Your problem is probably that the Traditional DAQ is taking control of the card and then DAQmx can't access it.  Mixing both technologies in a single program is not recommended (I speak from personal experience).

thats exactly what is happening, so you recommend me to uninstall the traditional and just leave the DAQmx ??

the issue is what "crossrulz" said, maybe the traditional is taking control of the 6527, when i test the ports on the measurement and automation software the DIO only responds to the traditional but not to the DAQmx. so i guess i have to uninstall the traditional.

Depending on what version of drivers you are using, some of the equipment drivers (DMM for example) used to depend on Traditional DAQ.  I'm not saying to uninstall Traditional DAQ.  I'm just saying I would replace your Tradition DAQ calls with DAQmx calls.

i dont know how to do that,is it some special configuration in the software or how can i do it

[Tokyghy]

im using the newest daqmx (daqmx 9.5) when trying to read or write to the DIO it does not respond, i already uninstall the traditional but still nothing

Interesting. It should work fine. The DAQmx Compatibility List does have the NI-6527 listed as a device compatible with DAQmx 9.5.1.

Can you give us more information, or post your code so we can help diagnose this problem?
