does pci-mio-16e-1 and pci-mio-16xe-10 function the same?

Please excuse my lack of understanding for this hardware. I am not an engineer, just a computer tech tasked to build new pc's with this hardware.

I need to know if the two cards can be interchanged. One is a 12 bit card, the other 16bit. The 12 bit card is the calibrated card to be used, replacing the 16 bit card.

Thanks

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by interchange, but both use the same driver, NI-DAQ. So if you have a version of NI-DAQ that is compatible with both devices (the last few versions are), the driver will recognize both devices. NI-DAQ will probably associate a different device number for the new board, when you put it in. So programs written for the other board might have to be changed slightly to account for the different device number. FYI - you can download (free) the most recent version of NI-DAQ here:

Thank you. I have got the drivers and the original deveoper has informed me of the code changes for the device number difference.
