Hi,
Hope someone could shine a light on this 🙂
Its been a long time since I used Labview & MAX and am a little rusty at the moment.
I am trying to upgrade an old DAQ system to a newer one.
This is because originally a full working backup system was needed but because the older DAQ cards are obsolete,
a simple upgrade was required.
Old System:
Labview 7.1
MAX 3.1.1
DAQ Card: PCI-6023E
New System:
Labview 7.1
MAX 5.0
DAQ Card: PCI-6220
There are no changes in the Labview application.
In the new MAX 5.0,
I am trying to migrate/replicate all the Virtual Channels & Settings from the older system.
I managed to Set a new configuration using the daq file from the old system.
This resulted in the creation of Traditional NI-DAQ Virtual Channels under the Data Neighbourhood, which is what I wanted.
But the problem is, all the channels got a Red Cross.
Clicking on individual channel's properties shows that No Device is Selected under the Hardware section. There is none to select from.
Under the Devices & Interfaces,
The new card is succesfully installed and working.
Shows up as > NI PCI-6220 "Dev 1"
How do I make this device available under the Data Neighbourhood's Traditional NI-DAQ Virtual Channels?
Is it because the new MAX/DAQ card requires the NI-DAQmx Task method to create virtual channels?
I would like to migrate the channels instead of recreating as there are a fair few and each having their own settings.
In the older system,
Under the Devices & Interfaces,
this is what it shows:
- Traditional NI-DAQ Devices
- PCI-6023E (Device 1)
- NI-DAQmx Devices
- PCI-6023E: "Dev 1"
The Device is recognised under the Data Neighbourhood - Trad VC via the NI-DAQmx Devices.
I can attach a screenshot for both the systems if that would help at all.
Many thanks in advance!
