NI Drivers w/ MCC Drivers
Our company is building a machine which applies an old test in a new application in addition to other tests. Code for the old test is already written and can be used as a stand-alone VB6 program using a Measurement Computing PCI-DAS1200 DAQ board. The program will perform background scans on up to 3 analog channels.
Rather than try to shoehorn this old test into a new program, I'd rather modularize the system by running 2 programs: one written in VB.NET which runs all the new control systems and tests, and one already written in VB6 which, when called by the new program, runs the old test.
To pull this off will require 2 DAQ cards. The old Vb6 test program will use the PCI-DAS1200 card. For the new VB.NET program, I'd like to u
se a NI PCI-6025E board which will scan input on 4 analog channels and output on 2 analog channels (as well as some digital I/O).
My question is, has anyone ever successfully used a Measurement Computing board and a National Instruments board simultaneously? My goal is to make the two systems as independent as possible so the tests can run simultaneously.
