Add support for SCXI-1600 in 64-bit Windows

[dougm]

Hello,

I recently discovered that the SCXI-1600 is not supported in 64-bit Windows.  From what NI has told me, it is possible for the hardware to be supported, but NI has chosen not to create a device driver for it.

I'm a bit perplexed by this position, since I have become accustomed to my NI hardware just working.  It's not like NI to just abandon support for a piece of hardware like this -- especially one that is still for sale on their website.

Please vote if you have an SCXI-1600 and might want to use it in a 64-bit OS at some time in the future.

Thanks,

Doug

Another pathetic case of programmed obsolescence. What a shame

Hi,

My company has many systems based on scxi-1600.  Recently one of the computers died and when I tried to update the PC, I found out about this issue.  My company has upgraded to W10 64bit machines.  I am stuck now.  NI really needs to support and provide a driver for W10 64-bit machines.

Hi Doug,

Thank you for your post.!!!

Did you ever get support from NI, a new driver?

Best regards,

Alberto J.

Hi Alberto,

Unfortunately, I never did see any updates on this topic. 

I expect it's very unlikely to ever happen considering that SCXI is now end-of-life.

Best,

Doug

Thank you Doug,

That is exactly what I was scared of.

I can only add my "ditto" to this thread. 64bit driver for SCXI-1600 would be ideal. I had to upgrade my 32bit/4GB computer due to increased background virus/security systems placing a load on the computer causing disruption in the communication from computer to SCXI system. Currently working with my IT to run a virtual 32bit for the LabView/SCXI and see if that works (should). 

Anyone with success doing this?
