Hi Ning,
I understand that you are now able to see your DAQ palette in LabVIEW
8.5, but you are having trouble with MAX. Do you still have MAX installed on
your computer? You should be able to use the latest version of MAX with NI-DAQ
6.9.3 without having to uninstall it or reinstall an older version. Can you try
placing the MAX folder back where it was and seeing if you can run MAX?
What I tried out was to install LabVIEW 8.5.1, then install the latest
version of DAQmx (which also installed the latest version of MAX). When I uninstalled
DAQmx 8.7.1, MAX 4.4.1 remained on my system. I then installed the LabVIEW 6.1
RunTime, followed by NI-DAQ 6.9.3. The only item I chose to include support for
when I installed NI-DAQ 6.9.3 was LabVIEW 6.1, only I changed the target
directory to be my LabVIEW 8.5.1 folder. Using this method, everything worked
fine, and I was able to detect everything properly in MAX and LabVIEW. Overall,
it seems like you have things working properly with the legacy driver and LabVIEW
8.5, but that you are simply having trouble running MAX. I am not really sure
why you had to move MAX from the National Instruments folder, but try and see
if you can move it back and get it working properly that way. You should not
have to uninstall this newer version of MAX. Hope this helps,
Daniel S.
