Can DAQmx 9.0.2 be used with LabVIEW 7.1?

[davey31415]

I am trying to install DAQmx 9.0.2 but I do not see support for any versions of LabVIEW before 8.2.  Can it be used with LabVIEW 7.1?

If not, what is the latest version of DAQmx that can be used with LabVIEW 7.1?

Also, if I install both DAQmx and the traditional DAQ drivers, is it possible to use a newer device, supported by DAQmx with the functions that depend on the older drivers?

Thanks.

So as far as I can tell there is no way for me to have both 7.1 and 2009 on the same machine and have both enabled to use DAQmx? Or could I just copy the DAQmx folder from 8.5 into my 2009 folder and it would at least let me edit code?

smercurio_fc, 

Thanks.  Any tips on how I can find that quickly without using a bookmark or coming back to this forum post?  I haven't seen a link to that when looking at the download pages for individual versions of DAQmx and when I haven't found it when searching the knowledge base yet either.  

Is there a way to click to that version comparison from the NI-DAQmx / NI-DAQ Driver Support Main Page here: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/6909 ?  Even if I need to click two or three links I'll be able to remember how to get there for future reference. 

Regards,

Dave

NI's search for the site is not that great. In this case a search for "DAQmx labview compatibility" made it show up as the 4th hit. For some strange reason the LabVIEW 8.2.1 upgrade information came in third. Go figure.
