problem setting up daq virtual channel for PCI-6229

[preschooler]

Hello,

I am having trouble setting up a virtual channel for PCI-6229.  This is in LABVIEW 7.1.  I am trying to update a VI from LABVIEW 6.1 to 7.1.  When I go through the wizard in MAX, I get it exactly configured how it is on the LABVIEW 6.1 version, but then under device, there are none listed, even though MAX recognizes the labview card in the NI-DAQmx Devices section.

 Please help me out on this one, as I am new to labview and can't figure another way for this VI to work but with virtual DAQs.

Thanks

Hi,

The PCI 6229 is an M series card and it is supported only by DAQmx Device Driver

Since you are mentioning that these are virtual channels in LabVIEW 6.1, your old VI must be using Traditional NI DAQ (legacy) API's 

Howerver the transition from Traditional DAQ to DAQmx will surely not be a serious concern to you

Since you are new to LabVIEW, you can quickly adapt to using DAQmx

The following links should help you to learn and get started in Programming using DAQmx
