Hii guys,
We have a Testsystem in Production , with Windows XP with labview 8.6.1 ( we cannot update the labview Version as some H/W is only compatible with 8.6.1)
also for DAQMx we use the 4.3 Version (which I can update )
We have a need to add a few DIO tests & have NI USB 6001 as H/W. The USB 6001 is not compatible, it does not show in the MAX.
I am updating the DAQmx to version 9.5.1 which according to this chart http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B0D5630C0A50D5C6862578E800459248 is the latest for 8.6.1
is there a quick fix or workaround for this Issue !!
do I need an additional driver for the USB-6001
regards
Akshay

The manual for the USB-6001 states that the device is only supported by DAQmx 9.9 and later. I don't know what happens if you update the DAQmx to that version, I guess it isn't compatible with the 8.6 executable so your old application would stop working?
It might be possible for you to create an executable using a newer version of LabVIEW (and newer version of DAQmx) which uses the 6001 and sends the data to/from the older application (e.g. via TCP/UDP?) but it depends on whether or not updating the DAQmx driver would cause your older program to stop working.

Thanks Sam,
I also contacted NI , they suggested that USB 6008 might help with the 8.6.1 LV Ver.
The Issue is its a Production System & I cant fiddle with it atleast not outside safe limits. (higher driver ver)
may be I try with 6008 or other older H/W.

Yes - you should be fine with the 6008 as it's older hardware.
