DAQ core drivers for Labview 8.0

[Tag0]

Hi,

I am currently using Labview 8.0 in order to capture data with NI PCI-6063E.  However, I recently purchased a NI USB-6251, and updated its packaged drivers to NI-DAQmx v.9.0.2.

After attempting to re-run my experiments I received errors on various missing NI-DAQmx libraries; and after some searching I found that Labview 8.0 is compatible with at most NI-DAQmx v.8.7.1.

Q: Is there a location where I can extract the necessary drivers for the NI USB-6251 DAQ card, but still maintain and use the NI-DAQmx v.8.7.1 libraries on Labview 8.0?

If this is not possible, then the only remaining alternative is to obtain a new Labview version and use the latest drivers. But I worry that my original script may be incompatible/requires more editing.

Thanks.

You did not look at the readme for 8.7.1. The USB-6251 is listed as being supported.

Ah, thanks for the quick reply Dennis. After installing 8.7.1, I was able to use the device. I believe that an older version of DAQmx was installed initially (and did not support the USB DAQ), and I mis-interpreted it to be one in the same.
