I need to use NI 6528 (DIO) under traditional DAQ (for use in VB6): how?

As in the subject:

I need to use NI 6528 (DIO) under traditional DAQ (for use in VB6): how?

This is how I understand it:

- NI6527 was replaced by NI6528.

- NI-DAQ 6.9 supported NI 6527, but not NI 6528 (since that didn't exist at the time)

- NI-DAQ 7 supports NI 6528 but only in DAQmx not in trad DAQ

- DAQmx is not recognised by VB6 (and I'm not keen to start porting all VB6 to .NET right now)

Does anybody know of a solution?

Thanks, E.

Hello,

You are correct in assuming that the 6528 is only supported by DAQmx, however there is a way to program with this board using Visual Basic 6.0 and DAQmx. (You will need Visual Basic 6.0 sp6 though).

If you use the latest version of the driver NI-DAQ 7.5, you can now create NI-DAQmx applications with Visual Basic 6.0 using a type library created from the NI-DAQmx ANSI C API

Once you have downloaded the driver, it will provide you with a help document explaining how to go about creating VB 6.0 applications with NI-DAQmx

Hope this helps, post back if you have any questions.
