PCI-6014 Driver in Labview 7.1

[mosteal]

I am a beginner in the Labview 7.1 software and NI-DAQ cards.  Unfortunetely I have no one for guidance when I get stuck.  So thanks for any help.

How do I get Labview 7.1 to read/record the analog signals from my PCI-6014 card?  The MAX software shows my card is installed and I can even see readings from my instruments in the MAX test panels.  However, when I try to make a VI in Labview 7.1, I dont know where to start.  There is no instrument driver for the PCI-6014 card.  The only device listed under Instr. Dev. folder is some HP Multimeter.

The help files I have read tell me to install the PCI-6014 driver folder in the labview/instr.lib folder.  OK, where to I get this PCI-6014 driver folder?  I have installed the NIDAQ850.exe file and the DeviceDocs850.exe, which should support my PCI-6014 card.

If it helps, the installation order was 1) PCI-6014 card 2) NIDAQ850.exe file and the DeviceDocs850.exe files, 3) Labview 5.0 student edition (also doesnt work), 4) Labview 7,1 Profession edition.

Any steps to help me get up and running would be appreciated.

Did you run this exe file????

I hope you are using Windows 2000 or Higher OS

If you are using any other OS, refer to this page for information on supported Device drivers

Follow this order

First install LabVIEW and  NI DAQmx device Drivers ( This device also supports Legacy traditional DAQ device drivers)

Then switch off your system, Insert the DAQ card in an available PCI slot

Power ON the system and MAX shall detect your DAQ card and it should show up in Devices and Interfaces folder

Hope this helps

What help file did you read that says to install a PCI-6014 driver in the instr.lib folder? There is no specific 6015 driver and the DAQmx driver will not install itself in instr.lib. If you have correctly installed DAQmx, you will have numerous DAQmx examples and the DAQ Assistant to use. Instrument drivers are used for GPIB/VXI/Serial/etc., types of instruments. You should go to https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/06/getting-started-with-ni-daqmx--main-page... and learn a little about DAQ boards and DAQmx.

If there is no specific driver for the PCI-6014 / 6015, then what driver do you specificy if you want to create a device object?

As the product page states, you use the DAQmx driver.
