Traditional NI-DAQ block wiring

[bgalfond]

Hello!

I am trying to swap out a legacy Keithley PCI DAQ card for a new NI part, but am not sure how the old program ran and what exactly the old DAQ was doing. The user trashed the old card, so I don't have the specific part number, and the signal is coming from a literal black box that is powering the pressure transducers of interest. I want to deconstruct their old .vi to figure out what is being read, but it needs the Traditional NI-DAQ and I don't have an XP machine to even open that on. Here is what I see:

The string is defining the 8 channels, and I am thinking the Numeric 1 is... device 1? I think it is outputting a voltage signal, so possibly 0-10 V for the DBLs? Output is an array of the 8 channels. I don't see anything about timing so not sure how Traditional DAQ handled that. Anyone with info on Traditional DAQ that can shed some light would be appreciated!

Another Q about traditional NI-DAQ came up just recently and crossrulz posted a link to a place where he had previously uploaded a modified API for traditional NI-DAQ but with all the actual driver dll calls stripped out so the code wouldn't show as broken.  But apparently, the context help was retained.  Here's another link to it.

See if that helps you clear things up, or post the code here for others to look at.  At least some of us have been around long enough to have used traditional NI-DAQ a decent amount.
