Replacing an AT-MIO-16X with a PCI-MIO-16XE

[emperor]

Updating an old system we upgrade DAQ card with one we tough was "all" identical, but I found that the DIO port is not. In fact the MIO-16X can be define as an 4 bits port but not the new card PCI-MIO-16XE-10. Unfortunately the Vi we are using was design with the 4 bits capability (4: Input, 4 Output). To minimize the modification of the software any suggestion...

Hello;

You didn't mention what Software language is being used to program the board, but, the best way to go about that is to mask the port, so you can have 4 bits working as input or output.

If you mask the port, you can still use your code as the port was a 4 bit port.

Hope this helps.
