Firmware update for USB-6501 with 3.4.0 Driver?

[nmarchal]

Hello,

I am wanting to use the 3.4.0 NI DAQ driver with a USB-6501 and am finding that the firmware is incompatible with the driver. The most recent driver I was using was the 2.1 base driver, unfortunately the software I am using to send signals to the USB-6501 requires the libraries from the 3.4.0 driver.

Is there a firmware available that is compatible with the 3.4.0 DAQ driver for the USB-6501 device?

I see that after you upgraded your DAQmx Base drivers from 2.1 to 3.4.0, it said that the firmware on the USB-6501 was incompatible.

If you go through this Knowledgebase, it will show you exactly how to get the firmware that is compatible with DAQmx Base 3.4.0. Particularly, near the bottom it shows how to perform that update.
