What is the equivalent of the "AI waveform scan.vi" in Labview 8.2 on the Windows Vista platform

Hello,
I'm a very newcomer in the Labview area. I'm trying to develop an interface for my lab activities. Now I'm in the way tu switch from Labview 6.1 to Labview 8.2. On the lab computer is installed Windows Vista. The traditional DAQ in not working properly so I installed the DAQmx but neither this is not working properly. My question is what s the equivalent of the "AI waveform scan.vi" in Labview 8.2  on the Windows Vista platform?

Best wishes to all

You first need to check the version of DAQmx that you have installed. The first version with Vista support is 8.5. The latest is 8.7.1.

Second, AI Waveform Scan was a fairly high level VI that called multiple DAQ functions. There is no single replacement that I am aware of. You need to use the low level DAQmx functions such as DAQmx Create Channel, DAQmx Timing, DAQmx Start Task, DAQmx Read, etc. If you are converting an old program, you might want to attach that so that someone can look at it and recomend what you need for the conversion.
