Can I use 'AI Read One Scan VI' Labview 7.1 with a new daq card and DAQmx driver?

[RENN]

i need to use an old software in which the data aquisition is using 'AI Read One Scan VI'.

i find it only with labview 7.1.

now i work with Labview 8.5 and the new daq card which i want to use comes with NI DAQmx software.

is there any compatibility issue between these two.

please clear my doubts.

many thanks in advance

The VI you mention is part NI-DAQ. Its a driver model not usable in LV 8.5. You would have to rewrite the code that controls your device to use the DAQmx driver model.

can i use NI-DAQ driver with a new daq card? is that possible?

It is usable with 8.5 and older cards as long as you install the traditional driver. It should be on your LabVIEW CDs or download it from here. New cards require DAQmx and you have to rewrite your code.

that means i can install traditional ni-daq driver+ new daq card + with software written in labview 7.1 ( or can i save it for 8.5?)

[Dennis_Knutson]

No. As has been said, new DAQ cards (such as the USB and M series) requires DAQmx.
