Labview Measurement studio compatibility

[Yashwant]

I have with me Labview 8.6 that I'd like to install on a machine that already has Measurement studio 6.0 and traditional DAQ driver. I'd like to know how I can install Labview without affecting the existing VC++ application that uses Measurement studio. I'm going to be using a new USB DAQ for my Labview based application and want to leave the existing PCI DAQ as such.

are you trying to keep the old traditional DAQ drivers and install new DAQmx?.....you can do that with no issues. do not select traditional DAQ during installation of new device drivers.............

LabVIEW will have no affect at all on Measurement Studio. When you install the hardware drivers, you will install DAQmx which is separate from the traditional DAQ driver. I don't think your existing traditional DAQ driver will be uninstalled.

Yep, that's right.

 Sure, I will take care of that. Thanks.....

@Dennis,

Yep, thanks for the heads up. Actually I started facing issues when I had accidentally unistalled Measurement studio and then reinstalled it back. The VC++ application started freezing the computer which I then fixed by changing the code. So just wanted to be cautious this time around.....
