Hello:
I am currently running a PC DIO-96 on a 100 MHz pentium (Windows 95) and LabWindows CVI. The board controls high voltage power supplies and timing equipment for a mass spectrometer. The computer is on its last leg, and I need a new computer for this instrument. However, I did not develop the code that controls this instrument, and I would ideally like to plug this board into a new computer system, copy over the .c, .h, etc. files, and continue using this code.
The questions I have are... is LabWindows CVI compatible with the OS I would get with a new computer, e.g. Windows 2k or XP? Also, is this board compatible with those systems? Are there specific system requirements I need to purchase to utilize the
board, or can I expect to just plug it in to any new computer? If I can't use board, is there a newer one I should purchase that I can use with the existing code that has been written for the instrument?
Forgive the newbie questions, but this will be my first foray into the realm of computer hardware.
