PCI-MIO-16E-4 old drivers

[Pietro_R]

Hi,

I have an old PCI-MIO-16E-4 installed in my computer but I'm not sure about the Ni DAQ-mx driver compatibility. First of all, I tried to install the more recent version (2022 Q4) and then the oldest one available (17.0) in the NI Packet manager.

However, by using NI MAX, even if the device is recognized, an annoying error always shows up:

Status Code: -209852
The specified device is no longer supported within the NI-DAQmx API.
Some of you solved this? 

I thank you for you time,

Best Regards

Hello,

The PCI-MIO-16E-4 is a E serie DAQ device. According to this page, the last version of DAQmx that support this hardware is DAQmx 19.0 (see corresponding readme).

I don't know how it is handled now by NIPM, but downgrading the DAQmx driver is not so easy. Perhaps, try to remove entierly DAQmx form your computer, reboot, and then reinstall the appropriate version (up to 19.0). But there may be dependencies for DAQmx, or remaining stuff that may generate the kind of error you mention.

If possible, you may also have a try on an other computer, with no previous installation of DAQmx.

Hope this helps,

Dear Mathieu_R.

thank you very much for your reply and for the documentation you shared with me. I already tried to uninstall every version of DAQmx but I didn't check for hidden dependency files (containing "DAQ" in the name). Actually your suggestion worked! Once reinstalled the 19.0 version of DAQmx after reboot the device was finally  recognized 😄

Thank you

Best regards
