dataacq for CVI6 and CVI8 simultaneously

[JGS]

I have CVI version 6 for some 'old' software development.

I have CVI version 8 for new software development.

When I tried to compile an old source with CVI6, the compiler could not find dataacq include file and library files.

These files are probably removed/replaced when I installed version 8.

What is the best method to get support back in CVI6 for dataacq ?

- re-installing full program ?

- copying files from CVI8 bin/include subdirectories to CVI 6

- other  ???

Hello Jos,

Unfortunately, NI drivers such as NI-DAQ are only supported in one installed version of CVI at a time. However, you can easily get around this limitation if you copy your dataacq.* files from the CVI8 tree to the CVI6 tree, as you yourself suggested. You'll have to restart CVI6 afterwards.

It's ugly, but there's no reason why it shouldn't work.

Hello Luis,

Copying files works although subsequent to dataacq, I had to copy 5 or 6 other include files.

Thanks, Jos
