Upgrade path from old version of LabWin 3.1 and NIDAQ to WinXP system

[AWK]

Hello,  I am trying to help folks at my old university lab recover from a Win95 PC failure with an old version of LabWindows, 3.1 (ca.~1997).

They have  a WinXP PC and have installed the old 3.1 software on this PC.  My old projects will compile and mostly run, but they are having problems finding a version of legacy NIDAQ that will work in LabWin 3.1 and WinXP. Function calls simply return errors so far, although I suspect they may not have configured the DIO-48 card in NIDAQ yet and the version of NIDAQ they have may not have legacy support for the "easyio" library.

Does anyone have experience with this?  If it is simply not possible, the second path is to have them buy LabWin2010, but I do not know whether the NI libraries (other than easyio which is easy enough to swap for std  NIDAQ fcn calls) have changed significantly and will require a large code rewrite for the GUI or other NI libs. Third option is to simply install Win95 if they can find disks, and use teh very old NIDAQ on the old PC.

Hi Alex,

I have not seen this exact situation before, but I would be happy to help you out to find what you need. Can you tell me a little bit more about your setup? From what I understand, you have an old program written in LabWindows 3.1 and a DIO-48 card. Are there any other pieces of software or hardware in your setup? It looks like the version of traditionalDAQ you need is 4.9 or lower. Do you know what exact version you had been using? I have sent you a private message to get your email address so that I can send you this driver.

Regards,
