LabVIEW 6.1 drivers for USB-6501digital I/O

[mjohnson]

Does anyone have LabVIEW 6.1 Call Library Functions written for controlling the USB-6501 board?

Thanks.

Hi,

Unfortunately, the USB-6501 is not supported in LabVIEW 6.1. The USB-6501 uses the DAQmx driver, which will only supports LabVIEW 7.x and later. However, if you choose to upgrade to a newer version of LabVIEW, then you can download the DAQmx driver free: Current DAQ Drivers Download.

Okay, but can't drivers be written by doing a Call Library Function w/in LabVIEW?

Hi,

The call library function can be used to call dll's, including those for drivers. However, using these call library functions to try to incorporate DAQmx in LabVIEW 6.x is not supported. Some of the functions might work, but you could run into problems with others. I recommend using LabVIEW 7.x or newer with the DAQmx driver and your USB-6501. This is the simplest solution to your problem.
