Will Traditional NI-DAQ work with a USB-6008 ?

[Jim_Flip]

Hi Guys,

I have ordered a USB-6008 and would like to use it with the Traditional NI-DAQ 7.4.4 instead of MX. Is this supported? 

Thanks,

Jim

LV 8.01

LV 7.1

Jim,

no, traditional DAQ does not support USB 6008.

You could use DAQmx base instead, but i wouldn't recommend that.

hope this helps,

Is there a specific reason you want to use Traditional DAQ? I'm guessing you have old code that uses Traditional DAQ? If so, you should look over this article on converting the code to use DAQmx: Transition from Traditional NI-DAQ to NI-DAQmx in LabVIEW.

Thanks!! I knew it wouldn't work, but will rewrite a bunch of stuff for MX.

Thanks Again,

Thanks for the link, but I will just rewrite it without conversion. It won't take that long -- I was just trying to be lazy 😉

Just to be clear: That document doesn't discuss any "conversion". There is no conversion mechanism. You have to rewrite the code. The document helps in identifying which functions to use to replace Traditional DAQ functions.

Hi,

I am Christiane and this is my first time posting a question. I am not really sure how everything works.Also, I am very new with labview and testing boards. Therfeore, I would probably not be able to specify exactly what device I have.

I am trying to test a USB device with Labview and an oscilloscope by sending 5 bytes to the board in binary. When I connect the board to my computer and run labview, everthing seems to work. I do not get any error. However, when I connect my board with a coaxial cable to my oscilloscope, I am supposed to get sqaure waves but do not get any. At some point, I was able to get a single pulse with my latest VI but it went away after a couple of second.

I am out of idea on how to build my VI. I think the problem has to do with the way I am converting my commands to binary but all the options I tried do not seem to work. Could someone please help me out?

Thank you in advance
