PhilaNi,

Unforntuantely, because your DAQCard-1200 is a legacy device (only supported in NI-DAQ 6.9.3 and before) it is not compatible with later versions of the driver (>7.0) which are required for the DAQPad-6016. These two devices cannot coexist on the same system. I would recommend upgrading your PCMCIA card to a DAQCard-6024E. This card works with both Traditional NI-DAQ version 7.4 and NI-DAQmx version 7.4. My apologies for any inconveniences.

Ryan,
thanks for your answer.
the problem is that I already got 6016. I just want to develop application code under VC++ and labivew 7.1 for new daqcard with laptop, and dont disturb application code for daqcard-1200.
is it possible 6.9.3 and 7.4 version driver co-exist in the samp laptop.?
sorry for another question, I use counter B0 as 100ms timer for signal acquire from A1 to A6, how can I use counter B1 to produce 200 Hz suqare wave to triger another instrument? the developing enviorment is VC6.
I post it in the fourm of Measurement studio for VC++6, but no response.

Hello PhilaNi,
No, you can not have NI-DAQ 6.9.3 and NI-DAQ 7.4 on the same machine. On to your counter question, you will just need to find a pulse train generation example, and go from there. Note: Finite pulse trains take two counters, so if you are already using one counter, you will be limited to doing a continuous pulse train task with the other counter.
