Does VI Logger support NI DAQPad 6016

[Strato]

According the specification sheet, the 6016 should support VI Logger, but the software does not work together with the card.

Is there a workaround?

Hi,

On the Product Data Sheet (http://www.ni.com/pdf/products/us/ni_daqpad_601x.pdf), the 601X incorrectly lists VI Logger as supported/recommended Software. The 601X is DAQmx only, and does not support Traditional DAQ. As a result, VI Logger will not work with this Hardware.

This is a Documentation error. Sorry about this.

Regards.

What would the easiest method be to convert the card into a standalone datalogger?
(knowing that I am not an experienced labview/cvi user ...)

Strato,

I am the product marketing manager for VI Logger at National Instruments.

LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI are both excellent options for creating a data logger. However, if you the time investment to learn develop the code is getting in your way then VI Logger is the best choice for creating a data logger with National Instruments hardware.

The only thing is that it the application engineer was correct in stating that the current version of VI Logger does not support NI-DAQmx devices. I apologize that the data sheet provided you with incorrect information.

If you don't mind I would like to speak to you "offline" about a way for you to use both VI Logger and the 6016. Would you mind sending your contact information to me at craig.anderson@ni.com?

Thank you.
