DIO Example of legacy (traditional) DAC

[Rafi2003]

Hi,

I'm troubleshooting an old system using CVI 6.0 and traditional DAC.  I encountered the line WriteToDigitalLines, which does not operate.  I verified that the line does operate from the MAX panel, therefore, the hw is operating fine.  It seems as if I have a DAQ issue...

My questions:

1.  Anybody have an example using a DIO with legacy DAC?  I'm thinking to make a little independent program that operate on this line and thus verify if it works.

2.  The system I'm working on has also DAQmx installed (both DAQ are 7.0).  Is it allowed to have both DAQ and DAQmx installed at the same time?

Thanks

RK

Try running this example, or better search for examples installed in your system: they should be in <cvi folder>\samples\daq folder or something similar. Documentation for NI-DAQ should clarify the exact location.

Regarding your second question, while it is possible to have both subsystems installed on the same machine, I seem to remember that they are mutually exclusive, i.e. you cannot have calls to both of them in the same program.
