Help with updating DAQ system

[jwarne20]

I am working with a group of mechanical engineering students on redesigning a DAQ system for an experimental shock tube lab which was written on LabVIEW 2009. The current DAQ card that is being used is the PCIM-DAS16 which came with a library of VI’s that are being used in the current code. The lab has planned to update their system with the high-speed data acquisition PCIe-6376, and the standard data acquisition card and I/O PCIe-6351. We are all new to LabVIEW and we are having a difficult time determining if the VI’s used in the current code will be compatible with the new cards. We would greatly appreciate any guidance on the issue and please let me know if any more information is needed.

The new cards are made by NI, the old one came from MCCDaq.

The new cards use DAQmx from NI, the old one uses the UL (UniversalLibrary) from MCCDaq.

The current code will NOT be compatible to the new cards, you need to refactor it…
