Can I use USB 6008 with LabVIEW 6.1 RT?

[poncho-solar]

Hi there,

I've been using LabVIEW 6.1 RT for my applications and so far I haven't felt the need to upgrade.
However, I decided to try the USB 6008 and I'm learning the hard way that this device will only work with NI-DAQmx and apparently not with the latest NI-DAQ 7.4.2 (legacy)  In fact, I can't see the device in MAX 4.1

Is there any way I can use the USB 6008 with my 6.1 RT version of LabVIEW ?  or should I send the thing back to NI ?

I will appreciate your guidance on this issue.

Thanks a lot,

if you think about it, DAQmx is not even supported in LV 6.1 for Windows.

The earliest version you could try is LV 7.0 which supports DAQmx.

As for sending the device back, guess someone internal should advise 😉

Hi at -

Allisso is right.  There is no way to use the USB-6008 with LV 6.1, because neither of its drivers (DAQmx and DAQmxBase) support that version of LV.  You'll have to either upgrade to a current version of LV or work with another device.  I recommend contacting your sales rep at NI for help.
