For using two DAQCARD-AI-16XE-50 's: Does the newer NiDAQ software support only one card?

[DrumTech]

On an older laptop (probably running Windows 95), the NI software V(?) supported two simultaneous DAQcards. With a new computer running XP and using a more recent version of NiDAQ (6.9.3), only one seems to be supported. If the NiDAQ software is the problem, which version should I install? The system device manager indicates that two cards are in fact installed.

Hi Drum Tech,

This was a problem with the driver assuming a serial number of '0' for both PCMCIA cards. They will be detected correctly in Windows but they will be incorrectly enumerated in Measurement & Automation Explorer. There was a patch fix for NI-DAQ 6.9.2 and this should have been resolved in the latest version of the driver NI-DAQ 7.1.

I would suggest installing the latest version of the driver to fix this issue. Hope that helps. Have a good day.
