Hello,
You shouldn't have any problems installing CVI, LabVIEW and DAQ in the National Instruments folder. In fact, this is the default install path.
Also, you will be able to use DAQmx in CVI 7.1 with no problem (as long as your board supports DAQmx, of course). Also, there is a built-in DAQmx library in CVIthat give you easy access to the DAQmx function panels.
Thanks.
