Hi Susie,I have never used such a card but I can give you some general informations about using DAQ devices in CVI.
To use every device in CVI you must load the appropriate driver. In case of CVI 6 your only option is to use Traditional NI-DAQ, which is freely downloadable from here, since DAQmx is not supported in that version of the devopment environment.
According to this table, PCI-6534 is supported by Traditional NI-DAQ on all systems from WinXP downwards so you should be able to use the device provided you have a compatible OS and you install the driver in the system.
The correct procedure is to first install CVI in the system and then to add NI-DAQ specifying to install the support for CVI: this way you will have the appropriate libraries installed in the IDE and a lot of examples for you to study.
