Can I use the "Lock-in amplifier start-up kit" with the PCI-6024E card?

I've been tasked to implement a lock-in amplifier for a test environment and i've found the "LabView Lock-in amplifier start-up kit" on the NI web pages http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/3B2936E1AFE39AC286256C2F00746422?OpenDocument&node=200066_us.
The problem is that the specs state that you have to use NI 4472, 4451, 4452 or 6115 as HW and we have a NI PCI-6024E card + DAQ signal accessory. Is it possible to run the start-up kit on the 6024E with a DAQ Signal accessory or do i have to upgrade?
This is what we want to do/measure:
Amplify a signal in the 60 mV range modulated at 100Hz - 10KHz
This is what i have right now:
DAQ: PCI-6024E with a DAQ signal accessory
Processor
: Pentium PIII 500 MHz
RAM: 64 MB

Is this enough? I realize the question is quite general and lacks specifics but I am looking to determine whether it is fruitful to further investigate the start-up kit or not.

with regards,

Per Axelson

Hello;

The toolkit wasn't design for use with the DAQ e-series board but with the DSA products.
However, there I can't see any incompatibility in between the toolkit and the e-series devices.
Since you have that board already, and you can download a trial version of the toolkit, it won't hurt to try it.
