RDA and DAQmx

[bilik]

My LV projects are developed on notebook and during development I use intensively RDA to acces PCI6023 in desktop PC. Now I want to switch to LV7&DAQmx, but unfortunately I cannot see RDA device for DAQmx in MAX3.0.0. Is it just temporaly problem of NI-DAQ7.0.1 or RDA will not more be supported in DAQmx ? Will RDA be supported in future or have I forget about it?
Thanks for any help.

Currently NI-DAQmx does not support RDA; however, you can still use RDA with NI-DAQ v7.0 if you continue to use the Traditional NI-DAQ driver. I really do not know nor can I comment on whether DAQmx will support RDA in the future and when, if it will be supported, to expect this feature. I would highly recommend developing your application using Traditional NI-DAQ under the assumption that it may be awhile for RDA to be supported by DAQmx.

The problem I see with using RDA under Traditional DAQ function in DAQ7 is: NI doesn't informed how long traditional DAQ function will be supported in DAQ7 (in some NI materials is written: in few new DAQ releases).
In case that RDA will not be supported in DAQmx in future when traditional DAQ function disappear from DAQ7.x, all developers using RDA will be in few months in situation that there will be no substitution for RDA in future DAQ7.x releases.

This means these who will need to use RDA in future, must stay with obsolete DAQ release (and forget about DAQmx) or to forget about RDA and use modern DAQmx. Looks to me like no bright future...

As I see there is no clear answer to this point from NI.
Thank you for any other informations.
