Is it possible to use NI USB-6009 with LabView 6.

[hgfdtyer]

I wanted to buy NI USB-6009 (http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/14605) but I doubt that it is usable with LabView 6. Is it possible to run this device under LabView 6, and if possible, shall I do sth. special? If this device does not suit, could I use another NI USB device?

I think the USB devices are only supported by DAQmx, which only has support VIs for LabVIEW 7 and up.
You could communicate with DAQmx via the Code Interface just like any other DLL functions.

Is there any reason to stick with LabVIEW 6?

In this case I'll have to use a non-NI device, despite my unwillingness.

Uprage costs.

Actually, according to the NI-DAQ (traditional) readme, there is some support for USB DAQ devices with traditional NI-DAQ. However, the USB-6009 is only supported by DAQmx, as detailed here.
