Upgrading to Labview 2010- where are DAQmx VIs?

Recently had to upgrade from Labview 7 (base) to Labview 2010 (base).  Expected things to change a little, but have a bunch of NI subVIs that were in LV 7 that aren't in LV 2010. 

 

So, going to sound like a moron, but what happened to all of the DAQmx acquisiton VIs?  Specifically, DAQmx Read, Create Task, etc...  Did they get replaced by something different?  Am I just blind and not seeing them on the functions palette?

New versions of DAQmx no longer support LabVIEW 7.

 

For my old projects, I had to install LabVIEW 7 on a virtual machine running XP and use an older version of the drivers.

The end of support for LV7 is why we decided to upgrade.  What I am trying to do is update our old code to work in LV 2010, ideally without having to rewrite the whole thing from scratch. 

 

So, in LV 2010 what is the correct way to acquire data from NI DAQ boards?  We have standard M-series AI boards.

After installing 2010, you have to install DAQmx. Its on the driver disk.

Ah!  Found them.  Apparently there was an error in the installation.  When in doubt, uninstall everything and try again!
