Using DAQmx AND DAQmx Base?

[Matt-UHart]

I am running a USB-6008 under DAQmx and also have a USB-9161 Carrier with the cRIO-9211 attached as well.  According to the NI site, 9211 is only compatible with DAQmx Base, unlike it's updated version 9211a (which I don't have).

I need to collect data from both the 6008 and the 9211.  In labview I have the 6008 being accessed by DAQmx.  However, if I try to use DAQmx Base for the 9211, I can no longer access it for tasks... it gives me the DAQmx tasks as options.  If I make a new application and call the DAQmx Base function, I can access the tasks.

So do I need to convert my 6008 to Base for both units to work properly in Labview or am I missing how to have both functions?

Thanks!

Matt,

You should be able to use the DAQmx and DAQmx base API together.  Could you give me a little more information on what version of the drivers you have? (E.g. NI-DAQmx 8.5?).  Also, what is the version of LabVIEW that you are using?

>> However, if I try to use DAQmx Base for the 9211, I can no longer access it for tasks... it gives me the DAQmx tasks as options.

Could you elaborate a little on what kind of tasks you are trying to access?  Are you using the DAQmx Base Create Task.vi to create your tasks?  It would help if you could post your code on the thread as well.

Regards,
