Want to use LabView with MISTRAS 2001 card

Windows does not "see" the card and neither does MAX. I don't care for the software that came with the card and it does not allow me to do what I need to do. Does anyone know how to make LabView see the card?

THANKS in advance.

Since the card is not made by NI and does not appear to follow the standards supported by NI (e.g. IVI, VISA), you will not see it in MAX. You have two possible options, and a third long-term option. The first two are ActiveX and call library interfaces. If the software you have from the manufacturer suppports either of these interfaces, you can "talk" to it from LabVIEW. Long term, you can lobby the manufacturer to create LabVIEW drivers, or at least a DLL you can get to from LabVIEW. Don't be surprised if you have to pay extra for a DLL or ActiveX interface. You may also have to write some C/C++ "glue" code if the DLL/ActiveX interface uses something that LabVIEW cannot handle (e.g. function pointers). Good luck.
