I'm using a SCXI-1000 board to readout temperatures from some Pt-100 sensors. The analog signal going into the SCXI-1000 is correct. The reading by LabView program is not. The SCXI-1000 is connected to the PC via a PCI-1200 bus. I've used this setup for some time with LabView 5.1. Here it worked nicely. Recently I upgraded to LabView 6. Now the readout is not giving the proper values. When I reinstalled Labview 5.1 it was all OK again. When using LabView6 do I need to calibrate of configure the SCXI-1000 for my temperature readout? Are there any known problems with upgrading from LabView5 to Labview6? How can I see which analog values are being read by the SCXI-1000 and to which values they are converte d? Hopefully you can help me.
Upgrading from different versions of LabVIEW shouldn't be a problem; I would suspect different versions of NI-DAQ first. Make sure you use the Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) to configure your card. To see if it's a driver update issue, when you use the LabVIEW 6 installation CD, choose custom install and don't upgrade your drivers. You may have to browse into your LabVIEW 5 directory and use copies of the VIs from there.
