Different NI DAQ card

[rothmans]

Dear All,

I'm new in using the NI DAQ card. Here I have one question, during my software development time, I'm using NI PCI-6229. After I have finish my development, I compile to executable program. This program I transfer to another computer which it use NI PCI-6221. Is there any problem occur with different DAQ card??

The program will work, provided folowing conditions are met.

• You are using less than16 AI channels, coz PCI 6221 has only 16 AI channels.
• You are not using  more than 2 AO channels, coz PCI 6221 has only 2 AO channels.
• If you have hardcoded the Physical channel address in your application, then you must change the Device ID of the new card to match the Physical channel address in your application.

Ex: For Analog Input channel 0, if your program had 'Dev1/ai0' as physical address hardcoded in your exe, then you will have to name your new card ( PCI 6221) as 'Dev1' in Max.

Also take care that you are only accessing AI channels between ai0-ai15 and AO channels ai0-ai1 in your exe, for it to work with PCI 6221
