Can I use XP for a PCI-6024/win2k/labviewruntime6.0/ni-daq6.9.x legacy app?

[web]

Are XP and Win2000 interchangeable for a labview application written abour 5 years ago using LABVIEW runtime 6.0 and NI DAQ driver 6.9.3.  - DAQ card is an NI-PCI6024.

The application was developed and tested on a Win2K platform.  Can I use XP and not run into any compatibility problems?

Hi web,

The Traditional DAQ 6.9.3 driver is listed to work with Windows 2000, NT, XP, and Me, as is LabVIEW 6.  Therefore, you shouldn’t have any compatibility issues when moving to the new computer. 

For future reference, this information can usually be found in the readme files of the software you’re considering using. 

I hope this helps.  Let me know if you have further questions.
