Going from an e series board to an s series board using traditional NI DAQ

I'm using the AI Acquire Waveforms.vi in LabVIEW with an E-series board (a 6040E), and I want to switch to an S-series board (a 6111). Is it possible to switch boards without making any changes to my LabVIEW 'program'? If it runs without any changes, will it sample simultaneously or sequentially?

Thanks.

Let me answer my own question and say that it does work, though I'm still not sure if it's sampling simultaneously or sequentially, or if it's even possible to control that.

Hello pdan,
So you can certainly use the same program for E and S Series devices (given that all the functionality is supported), due to the fact that they both use the NI-DAQ driver. As to your concern, the S Series device is most certainly acquiring data simultaneously. It is not possible for the S Series board to acquire sequentially. Hope this helps!
