NI-DAQ for USB-6008, LV 2012

[Doug_2014]

Hello, I have a NI USB-6008 for which I want to create a VI with Labview 2012 for logging one channel at 0-2V from a current shunt. In the our previous version of Labview 2011 I was experimenting with DAQ Assistant which made the job easy, but in LV 2012 this doesn't seem to exist.

I was reading help files and I should be able to use NI-DAQmx but I can't seem to be able to find it. In NI Max I can see NI-DAQmx is there and can run  NI-DAQmx test panels on the USB-6008, but in LV 2012 I go to blank VI, block diagram, and I'm stuck. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

Can you check if you have DAQmx functions in Measurement I/O > NI-DAQmx in the function palette?

If no, did you re-install the DAQmx device driver together with LabVIEW 2012?

And what is your DAQmx version you're currently using?

I don't see the NI-DAQmx where yours is. What do you mean specifically when you ask - did you re-install the DAQmx device driver together with LabVIEW 2012? I believe it was installed with LV 2011 but not re-installed after LV 2012 was installed. The verson of NI-DAQmx is 9.8, thanks!

You need to install DAQmx after installing LabVIEW.  Use the version of DAQmx that came with the newest version of LabVIEW.

You must install DAQmx after installing LabVIEW. You'll probably have to download a different version - one that is compatible with 2012.

Hello Doug,

NI-DAQmx 9.4 was released in August of 2011 and does not include support for LabVIEW 2012.  Refer to ni.com/downloads for an-up-to-date list of driver releases, you can find the DAQmx downloads here:

That's why I said to use the version of the drivers that came with the latest version of LabVIEW which is at least 9.5.5 according to NI-DAQ and LabVIEW Version Compatibility (for Windows)
