what is best way of configuring the channels for the PXI box

[Mudda]

Hi,
All these days I was using a SC-2345 box and a PCMCIA card and I created all my virtual channels as traditional NI-DAQ channels. Now I am using the PXI box, I am wondering whether I still use same traditional NI-DAQ channels or shall I use NI-DAQmx channels. I would like to know what are the advantages of using the NI-DAQmx channels and also using the DAQmx VI's in the labview programming.

Thanks,
Mudda.

Hi Mudda,

I think it depends on what PXI measurement modules you are using. I'm using PXI4461 for audio measurement and the card supports DAQmx only. I also have PXI5112 digitizer card and it uses the NI-Scope driver. So you need to check which driver your module supports.

You can find advantage of DAQmx here. http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/B1C2A3BC3228AEA186256D2500640D52?opendocument
