SCXI-1200 ... Win2000 ... LabView 5.1 ... which NI-DAQ driver

[WK-NTS]

Hello
we have a good running LabView program working on an old PC-system (Win-NT, LabView 5.1 with NI-DAQ 6.1) together with or hardware,
a SXCI-2000 chassis with SCXI-1200 DAQ, and two multiplexers SCXI-1122 and SCXI-1100.
Now we need a backup of our computer, but who will install Win-NT ?
I have learned that WinXP is not possible, thus we want to install Win2000.
We have tried a couple of things but didn't find an acceptable solution. We don't know which NI-DAQ driver is necessary and what to do that our system works.
Who can help?
Thanks
Wolfgang Krüll

Hello!

You said, you tried a couple of things, but didn't finde a solution. So what did you try, and what was the problem?

The latest traditional DAQ Driver, supporting your hardware and working in Windows 2000 will be NI-Traditional DAQ V6.9.3f5. You will find the download for this driver in the following link and also a readme file which explains the installation procedure, http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/E470663AFB8A9EDD86256D8800543B4B

Hi Wolfgang,

Actually, the SCXI-1200 is not supported in Windows XP or 2000 by any of our drivers.  As one of our legacy boards, it is only supported under previous versions of Windows, such as the NT version used on your old system.  If you cannot use an older version of Windows, your best option will be to upgrade to hardware that works with Windows 2000.  See NI-DAQ Driver Support for more information.

If you are interested in upgrading your hardware and would like some suggestions, post back with some more information about the system and specs that you need.

Thanks,

Justin M.

I use the SCXI-1200 with Win2000 and Labview 6.1.  You have to install it according to directions in "Configuring a Remote SCXI System" if that is still available.  It won't work with XP.
