Running the latest Labview 2010 on new computers (Windows 7) but have the older/oldest NI ELVIS hardware

We are running the latest Labview 2010 on new computers (Windows 7) but have the older/oldest NI ELVIS hardware (NI ELVIS I?).

Labview works great and the device drivers are installed.

Which NI ELVIS software do we install?

The latest version states that it is for the ELVIS II and III hardware,

Thanks,

Hi Tom J,

Here is the latest driver for the ELVIS system.  Hope this helps!

Hello,

The ELVIS software installed fine and the ELVISmx Instrument Launcher runs fine.

However, when I try to run an instrument, we get the following error (See Attachment):

Error -200220 occurred at ALVISmx_DAQmx

Create Channel (AI-Voltage-basic).vic4

It seems that the software can't find the DAQ card which is directly hooked up to the ELVIS unit via a cable

We aren't using USB. 

I noticed that the newer ELVIS units use USB only.

Is there a setup to make it recognize the card?   There used run with the older ELVIS software when you clicked on Continue in the error box.

The PCI-6251 card checks out fine with MAX.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom,

I'm sorry I read your first post completely backwards.  This is the driver you should try.  Sorry for the confusion!
