NI-DAQmx for 6251 under LabView 8.2

[intopto]

Hi

We just started using Labview 8.2, and have a program which we wrote in 8.0.

When installing the latest drivers for the NI USB-6251 DAQ (it shows version 8.1), there is only an option on support for Labview 8.0. I don't know if the driver installs 8.2 support as default and ask for 8.0 support as an option.

8.0 support does not want to install (it says Automation explorer 4.0.3 is not installed as we have already version 4.1), so we have just installed it without this option (Automation explorer 4.1 ).

Anyway, there is no NI-DAQmx VI's after starting Labview and Automation explorer seems to work fine.

What do I do to get the NI-DAQmx VI's and start communicating with the DAQ box?

Version 8.1 is not the latest version of DAQmx. You can go here and see all of the versions. I think 8.3.1 was the first to support 8.2. This is what you should have gotten with your 8.2 CDs.
