Old ISA acquisition card support/drivers for WinXP.

[jarekad]

I have an old (anno domini 1995) NI acquisition card (ISA) that I'd like to instal on a PC running WinXP. The computer is rather old, but has the advantage of having three ISA slots. The problem is that the system doesn't recognize the new PNP hardware. I know that the slots on the mainboard work, I tested other cards on them. The only indication that I found printed on the card is the following:

front side:
ASSY182095C-01
LAB-PC+

back side:
847665460
182097C-01 (my guess is that's the model number)
UL94V-0

Then, there's a sticker on one of the chips:
70232
9-01A
0996 H

Tried to look for some information on the web, but found nothing.

Does anyone have any idea of what the card is and are there any drivers available?

This is not a plug and play card. You will be able to download a manual for that card from this site. There are jumpers or dipswitches that you will have to set. Also, you will need to use an old version of DAQ. I forget which is the last to support that, but you can do a search to find out. I have one of these cards, and have used it under Win98 and LV 6.0.2.

Hi, you can download the pdf version of your board manual at this link:

https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/320502b/resource/320502b.pdf

The newest driver that support your board is Ni-DAQ 6.9.3 that should work fine under XP.

Hope this helps. Ciao.

My problem looks like similar, so I didn't want to open a new topic. We have the same old NI acquisition card (ISA). Its model is same with the card that is mentioned here before.

 
front side:
ASSY182095C-01
LAB-PC+

Then, there's a sticker on one of the chips:

According to the replies to this message I dowloaded the Ni-DAQ 6.9.3 drivers. However the old system runs under Windows 3.1 and with Labview 4.  But, the drivers are suitable for Labview 5 and 6 as I understood. So, is there a way to use the labview program under Windows XP (Win. 2000 and 98 is not preferred but ok.) ? Is there a Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) drivers for this card?

I would be very grateful, if anyone has an idea.

Hi Ahmet,

  in my post I wrote that the LAST driver that supports your board is Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) Version 6.9.3 that works for Windows 2000; Windows 95; Windows 98; Windows ME; Windows NT; Windows XP.  So if you want to use this boards with XP it is the right driver, and you should use it with LabVIEW 5.x, 6.x (or 7.x with some limitations).  If you wrote your VIs with LabVIEW 4.x you should be able to use them with newer versions of LabVIEW.

If you want to use this board with a PC running Windows 3.1 and LabVIEW 4.x there should not be problems, you just have to use the driver originally available for this configuration.

Consider also this solution, with few dollars you can buy a PCI-6221 (or even a lower cost USB board) that leverages latest technology, and is shipped with latest drivers and LabVIEW Signal Express Lite Edition that will allow you to do whatever you used to do with your Lab-PC+

Ciao.   Nicola

Hi Nicola,

Sorry for very late reply. I am thankful your response. I decided to use a new DAQ card and bought USB 6009 (one of the cheapest cards) and wrote a new software. Everything is allright now. Thanks for your help.

Best regards,

Ahmet
