Fieldbus AT-FBUS card compatiblity

I am currently using a older AT-FBUS card in a product test station installed in an ISA slot.  The station computer's operating system is XP and is using NI-FBUS Communications Manager Ver. 2.3.6. 

Is it possible to use this card with the lastest version of the Communications manager?  Is it possible to use lastest CD of NI-FBUS Communications Manager to install the  latest drivers?

Thanks for your help,
Bryan

Hi Bryan,  yes, you can use the AT-FBUS card with the lastest version of NI-FBUS Communications Manager (version 3.1.1); and the latest CD of this software is version 3.1, which has slight difference with 3.1.1 version.

However, if you are using some application programs based on NI-FBUS CM 2.3.6 version in your test station, probably you can not run the application programs directly with the latest 3.1 or 3.1.1 version NI-FBUS CM. The reason is that NI-FBUS CM changed its API interface since 3.0 version, you would have to upgrade your application programs by simply rebuilding the application with the NI-FBUS 3.1 or 3.1.1 version library.

NI-FBUS 4.x does not support AT-FBUS anymore.
