Can NI 6229 be contolled using Traditional NI DAQ

[9845567540]

I am currently using DAQ mx to control the Analog Inputs and Outputs of NI 6229. Getting the logical device name of the card (M series) takes around 2-3 seconds. So i want to know if i can control the card using traditional daq functions. Also pls suggest if this initialization delay can be reduced with DAQ mx.

M-series devices can be used with NI-DAQmx only. The delay is the time to load the dll's that implement NI-DAQmx. You could call some DAQmx function (any function will cause it to load and incur the delay) when you start up your application. That way you get the delay out of the way at a time when it doesn't matter.
