Add Device Manually in MAX

[LordI]

Hello,

I installed my daqcard 6036e using a usb to pcmcia adapter and Device Manager detected it without problems. However MAX didn't, so I guess there is something missing. I was wondering if it is not possible to add device manually, but when I clicked "Create New..." there is no way to continue installation. I almost sure it is something registry related, since Windows found my card. Anyway, I guess if I could manually add my card in MAX it should work.

Thank you

Hi, 

Unfortunately, NI does not sell a USB to PCMCIA card adaptor. Also we have not tested our PCMCIA cards with third party adaptors. There may be an adaptor on the market that will work. However, in a preliminary search I didn't see many options out there better than the one you pointed out. I doubt there is a real viable solution available. If you are interested in a USB data acquisition solution I would highly recommend getting a dedicated USB DAQ device such as the NI USB-6251. You can take a look at it at https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/model.usb-6251.html In addition to being natively USB 2.0 compatible it is quite a bit more capable than the DAQCard 6036E.
