PCI-MIO-16E-4

[れん]

PCI-MIO-16E-4をWin XPで使用しているのですが、ＸＰサポート終了に伴いWin7に買い換える予定でいます。

Win7で「PCI-MIO-16E-4」を使用できるものなのでしょうか？

また、使用できない場合は、代替のものはあるでしょうか？

それからソフトはLabVIEW5をeze化したものを使用しているのですが、そちらもWin7で対応可能かご教示下さい。

以上、申し訳御座いませんが、よろしくお願い致します。

Next time, you should post in english or in the forums section covering your mother language (as i and most others in the english section cannot read japanese)......

Nevertheless, as google translate works quite well (at least i got the point of your question) here an answer:

PCI-MIO-16E4 is a rather old device from the "E-Series" family. When trying to get information on "is this hardware still useable with Windows 7", you have to check if the hardware driver supporting that hardware is compatible to Win7.

That being said, you have to look for the most recent version of DAQmx to support that hardware. Good news is, that current versions of DAQmx do support this device, and they are supported on Win7.

So from the driver side, working with Win7 is possible.

Now the next step is to check for software compatibility.

And here we have two major issues, which will most likely prevent you from running the application without modification on Win7:

a) LabVIEW 5 is too old to support Win7 (i think, even XP wasnt supported officially, but i am not sure). So you can try to install it and it is possible that it will work. But if it doesn't work....well, its not working then.

b) As LabVIEW has no interface to DAQmx, i doubt that your application is using this driver to access the device. I assume that the application uses "DAQ". Most functionality of "DAQ" was ported to "traditional DAQ", so this should be compatible. But there is only a rather "limited" version of trad.DAQ for Win7 as you can see here.

Reading carefully question b), the recommended way to solve is to update the application to an uptodate version of LV including a change from NI DAQ to DAQmx (which requires some part of re-programming).
