I need to use a new PXIe DMM and the previous developer chose the PXIe-4081
The challenge is that I cannot change the underlying application and it uses the NI Developer Suite 2013 APIs. The 2013 DMM Drivers are NI-DMM v3.1 and NI-DAQmx 9.7.5; so, that is what I have installed. I have found in the past that I can safely update drivers as long as they are compatible with LabView 2013 (since it uses the same APIs.
When I run NI MAX it flags that there is no Windows driver associated with it; so, something seems wrong.
Is NI-DMM v3.1 compatible with the PXIe-4081?
Where do I find the required driver version number and what version of LabView the driver will work with?
Solved! Go to Solution.

It looks like you need NI-DMM 15.2 for that hardware. It is compatible with LV 2013, the full compatibility is found here. You should be able to use any version of NI-DMM from 15.2 to 17.1 with those 2 requirements.

Gregory,
That is great! Thanks!
One question:
I see how you know NI-DMM from 15.2 to 17.1 works with LV2013, thanks on that.
How do I know tell what driver version(s) are required for the PXIe-4081?
Do I search each driver version release notes to find out if the PXIe-4081 is supported? UGLY

While looking at the version 17.0 release notes. NI-DMM stops listing LV2013
NI Application Software | Versions Support by NI-DMM 17.0 |
---|---|
NI LabVIEW | 2014 SP1, 2015 SP1, 2016, 2017 |
NI LabVIEW Real-Time Module | 2014 SP1, 2015, 2016, 2017 |
LabWindows™/CVI™ | 2009 and later |
LabWindows™/CVI™ Real-Time Module | 2010 and later |
Version 17.1 adds an auto-range enhancement; but, I will probably just stick with 16.0 to be safe.
After looking more at the pattern of this and NI-DCPwr LV compatibility, it look like they do 4 years (13-16).

That is how I found it It seems like there must be a better way though!

I agree, seem like adding a link to the required to the support page for the card would be VERY helpful.
