I'm using NI USB 6211 with an old LabView code that was written a few years ago and I'm not familiar with LabView.
How can I figure out the output voltage from NI USB 6211 that is used when I run the LabView code? What is the best way to understand the old code that I have?
If I want to write a new code, what is the recommended way? LabView or Python?

How can I figure out the output voltage from NI USB 6211 that is used when I run the LabView code? - If it is in source code format (VI) you can go through the code to understand what it does and figure out the voltage - or - use a multimeter or scope on the respective outputs and measure
What is the best way to understand the old code that I have? - learn LabVIEW, DAQmx drivers, HW specifications
what is the recommended way? LabView or Python? - both are good options, it is up to you, I am a LabVIEW guy, so my personal preference will be LabVIEW

Thank you, Santhosh!
The source code is in VI format, I looked at the block diagram but I find it hard to find where the output is defined. Am I looking at the right place?
What's the best place to learn about LabVIEW code?

At the top of the LabVIEW board of NI Forum, you'll find links to start with the basics as seen in the below image.
If possible, ask your company to get an SSP for training and you can use NI's training courses (not FREE).
