DAQ Problem when migrating to LV8.0

[Oliver Friedrich]

Hallo,

I have a piece of code which was originally written with LV7.1.1. It deals
with a NI6289PCI card. This code has been verified. Now I've migrated from
LV7.1.1 to LV8.0 and trying to load this code returns an error. A VI called
"Get Terminal name with device prefix.vi" was not found. As I can remember
these were from the TraditionalDAQ palette.
This vi takes and returns a task reference and it takes a string which is
"ao/StartTrigger" and "ao/SampleClock". Finally it returns a DAQmx
reference of something that is wired to the source inputs of DAQmxTiming
and DAQmxTrigger.

How can I get the functionality of this missing VI with modern DAQmx means.
I know that it has to do with synchronizing clocks and waiting for a
trigger.

Thanks for your help.

When you installed 8.0 did you install new drivers as well. If you did not i would install the traditional daq drivers and make sure that they can be used for 8.0. This goes for DAQmx as well. make sure when you open LV8.0 that these functions are available in the measurement I/O pallette if they are not then they need to be installed then your problem should go away.

Hi!

You will find it under  C:\Programme\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.0\examples\DAQmx\_Utility
