Hello LabView experts,
I am supporting a research lab that is looking to continue use of a system that I setup for them years ago. The system uses a DAQPAD 6016 (which appears to be in good order). It is used to sample a physiological signal that is then analyzed by my LabView-based software.
The computer it was originally running on is on its last legs, so we want to port it over to a Windows 7 laptop that they have acquired. Though I saw a post noting that old legacy devices and NIDAQmx might not be supported on a new computer running Win7 (https://forums.ni.com/t5/Multifunction-DAQ/Win7-driver-for-DAQ-6016/td-p/1588824), I did note that this is from 2011, so things may have changed.
Am I right in deducing from the compatibility charts that...
1) NI-DAQmx ver 9.1.5 thru 9.9 will work with LabView 2010 (in which my program was compiled in) - http://www.ni.com/product-documentation/53326/en/
2) the DAQPAD -6016 will work with NIDAQmx 7.4 onwards (when you view all on... http://sine.ni.com/psp/app/doc/p/id/psp-230/lang/en )
3) Windows 7 scan run NIDAQmx 9.5.5 thru 15.5.1 (http://www.ni.com/product-documentation/53327/en/)
4) THEREFORE the sweet-spot is likely NIDAQmx 9.9 for this setup (Win7, LV2010SP1, DAQPad-6016).
Since the research lab is out of town, I wanted to see if I was looking at this issue properly and had a reasonable expectation of having everything work when I visit them. I'd rather not have to get into further development or buy new products as everything was working well besides the old computer.
Any thoughts would certainly be appreciated.
