Help Needed: DAQmx 2024 Q4 Compatibility with LabVIEW 2020/2022 for cDAQ-9183

[YoussefMenjour]

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for a precise answer regarding LabVIEW ↔ NI-DAQmx compatibility, because the official documentation is not entirely clear for recent hardware.

We need to work with a CompactDAQ cDAQ-9183 chassis.
According to NI’s documentation, this device is officially supported starting from NI-DAQmx 2024 Q4.

Our current environment is LabVIEW 2020, and the customer may consider upgrading to LabVIEW 2022.
However, the issue is that DAQmx 2024 Q4 does not seem to provide “Support for LabVIEW 2020”, and it is unclear whether it still supports LabVIEW 2022.
The public DAQmx–LabVIEW compatibility table is not up to date for the newest driver versions, and the installer no longer clearly shows which LabVIEW versions are supported.

My main question is therefore the following:

👉 How can we verify which version of LabVIEW is actually compatible with the specific NI-DAQmx version required by the cDAQ-9183?

More specifically:

• The cDAQ-9183 requires NI-DAQmx 2024 Q4 or later.

• How can we know whether DAQmx 2024 Q4 still includes support for LabVIEW 2020 or LabVIEW 2022?

• The documentation does not state clearly which LabVIEW versions are supported by the newer DAQmx drivers.

In other words:
👉 I want to know whether it is possible to use the cDAQ-9183 with LabVIEW 2020 — and if so, how?
👉 And I want to know the same thing for LabVIEW 2022.

If anyone has an official reference, a compatibility matrix, or has already tested this combination in a real project, any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

This page seems to indicate that DAQmx 2024Q4 is compatible with LabVIEW 2021 and later.

Hi

mcduff's linked to the list of compatible LabVIEW and NI-DAQmx versions.

That list looks quite suspicious :

NI-DAQmx 2024 should support LabVIEW 2021, if the classic 4 generations compatible range is still in effect. And fine, the list shows that.

NI-DAQmx 2025 should likewise support LabVIEW 2022. But it doesn't. That NI-DAQmx version only supports back to LabVIEW 2023.

NI has become quite fatalistic lately and doesn't think this oddness deserves even a single comment.

This is even more odd, as NI-DAQmx 2022 was among the first batch of drivers to support the new driver 'LabVIEW Addon' concept, and LabVIEW 2022 was the first version to support this driver installation concept :

https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/22/extending-compatibility-between-labview-...

Meaning that the NI-DAQmx 2024 ( as well as 2023 and 2022 ) already installed into the LabVIEW Addon driver location "c:\Program Files\NI\LVAddons". So why should NI-DAQmx 2025 not be able to do the same, according to the list.
