"Reading temperatures from using 5508TC adac board"

[Lab Technician]

I am measuring temperature using the "5508TC adac" board on Windows2000.I have a "K-Type" Thermocouples, but I can't select the channels from the Measurement and Automation Explorer window using Labview 7.0 software.When I click on NI-DAQmx in Labview 7.0;I clicked on "Analog Input" then Temperature, Thermocuples then it says "no supported devices found".I even installed an updated version of NI-DAQ drivers, but I'm still facing the same problem. What do I need to resolve the problem?

It doesn't show up in MAX and you can't use NI-DAQmx because those packages are only for National Instrument products - hence the NI in NI-DAQmx :). You will need the driver from Adac. Their website here says that a set of VIs is available for download.

I'm sorry but Measurement & Automation Explorer is a National
Instruments software and knows only about National Instruments hardware.
The same applies to the DAQmx functions.

You will have to ask the manufacturer of your board for a config
uration
utility for your hardware and also some LabVIEW drivers.
