M-series scope demo VI?

have an M-series DAQ card PCIe-6259 with LV8, looking through the
built-in examples for a scope type demo app, the 'standard' scope demo
still built-in to LV8 examples wont run as it is apparently for
'traditional' DAQ not DAQmx and doesnt work with the M-series card.

btw, I am just guessing that is the issue, as I am by now used to such
incompatibilities aka planned obsolescence with each new NI LV spin.

Anyway, the other demo scope apps listed in LV8 examples are for SCXI
or real-time hardware.

Is there a comparable 'traditional' scope demo app for an M-series
card?

Or, is there a directory of M-series-only demos/examples?

tia!

M-Series boards are only compatible with DAQmx drivers. So as you surmised, any example programs that use Traditional DAQ calls, will not work. You can find all of the DAQmx examples, that will work for your M-series card, in the Example Finder, under the section "Hardware Input and Output >> DAQmx". The example "Gen Mult Volt Updates-Int Clk.vi" which you can find in the Analog "Generation >> Voltage" section does pretty much what you are looking for with that scope example. Hope that helps.
