Easy I/O equivalent in LabWindows/CVI 8.1.1

[skim2]

I used easy I/O such as AOGenerateWaveforms in my old software. I ported it for CVI 8.1.1. Is there any equivalent library that I can replace easy I/O?

Hi Skim,

It sounds like the Traditional NI-DAQ drivers were not re-installed after upgrading CVI versions. When upgrading versions of CVI, the NI-DAQ drivers need to be re-installed as they only originally install support for software they find present at the time. When you install the latest version of Traditional DAQ (7.4.4), which includes support for CVI 7.x and later, it will install support for your new version of CVI and you will be able to again find the functions you are used to for Traditional DAQ.

Thanks for your reply. I need to make the software DAQmx compatible. Is there Easy I/O for NI DAQmx?

AFAIAA there is no equivalent of Easy I/O for DAQmx. Only Difficult I/O 🙂

But seriously, DAQmx is pretty easy once you have grasped the concepts and used the wizards.

Skim,

I would suggest looking at the AO shipping examples, as these are great to start out with and then build off of. (Help >> Find Examples…>> Hardware Input and Output >> DAQmx >> Analog Generation >> voltage)

Thank you all. Yes DAQmx was easy enough. I have codes up and running. Thanks again.
