Labview 6 to labview 9 upgrade question

[NIquist]

That's just the old NI VI that we all already have.  You can't upgrade it.  The upgrade is DAQmx.

You should probably give up on all the Traditional DAQ stuff and go with DAQmx using the link smercurio provided.  The problem you will face with Traditional DAQ is that even if you can get your hardware and LabVIEW version to work with it now, you may not be able to on your next upgrade.  DAQmx is the way to go despite the initial learning curve.  The conversion confused me a bit at first but now I see that DAQmx is FAR superior and easier to use as well.

EDIT:  Wait a minute... IF "lakersrl" == "Laker's Rule" THEN Print "GO CELTICS!!!"

Agree!

Two exceptions that I klnow of...

If you are using old hardware that is not supported by DAQmx, OR you were using RDA (Remote Data Acquisition, let you use a widget installed in another machine on the network as if it was in your PC, it was really slick but got dropped, bummer) then you have to use the legacy version. I have had to mix both flavors in apps and its do-able.
