How can I use LabVIEW 6 on a SCXI-FRQ8 module?

[Talbote]

Hi, here is a description of our problem. We hope that you will be able to help us.

We bought from NI, a few years ago, some SCXI-FRQ8 modules. (Those modules were made by a company called Developpement Ingenierie in France) The problem is, we can not update to the version 6 of labview since we do not have the drivers to install Labview 6. The drivers we have are for Labview 5.x and 4.x.

Furthermore, we can not update those drivers by ourselves, since we do not have acces to the diagram of these VI drivers. We tried to contact that company, but no one answers. So maybe the company does not even exists anymore.

We would like to be able to install Labview 6 on these modules and if we can
make it work, we will probably buy some new SCXI-FRQ8 modules(if we can still buy them).

Thank you

The driver for the SCXI-FRQ8 provided by DI originally did not include the block diagrams. So if you try to use them in a newer version of LabVIEW, you will receive error messages because LabVIEW needs the source code to recompile the code into the newer LabVIEW format.

National Instruments can provide you with the code you need to use this module with LabVIEW 6. Request this code at http://www.ni.com/ask.
