I just installed LabVIEW 2017 PDS for MacOSX on a MBP with MacOS 10.12.6 plus the newest VISA, GPIB and DAQmx Base. Now I wonder if the DAQmx for myDAQ driver would also work alright for this configuration. Could you please give me an input to this or refer to a download site for an appropriate installer!
Thank you!
Alright, after almost half an year and the need to use the myDAQ with LV2017/2018 PDS on a brand new at the time MacOS 10.13.3 High Sierra machine I was able to run the DAQmx for LV/MacOS examples to work from there. My solution want as follows:
1.) Install with the newest DAQmx for MacOSX installer onto your machine.
2.) Open the NI myDAQ Test Panels by means of the System Preferences to see if the plugged in myDAQ is picked up and operable.
3.) To use the DAQmx functions in a higher version LabVIEW than the one it was then installed in, you need to copy the following files from the old to the new distribution:
From/to the folder vi.lib: DAQmx
From/to the folder resource/objmgr: daqmx.rc and daqmx.rch
From/to the folder Examples: DAQmx
From/to the folder menus/Categories/Measurement: _DAQmx and daqmx.mnu
With these files in place the myDAQ for MacOSX should be operable also under the most contemporary High Sierra MacOS version natively.
Happy wireworks
