usb 6009, labwindows 5.5

Hi,

I have an usb-6009, how can I write a programme based on the LabWindows/CVI version 5.5 platform?

Well that entirely depends on what you want to do. However, you will need to have version 7.5 of the NI-DAQmx driver installed to be able to program to the USB-6009.  You can then use the DAQmx API functions to implement a variety of functionality. The 6009 has 14 analog input channels, 2 analog outputs, 12 digital I/O lines, as well as a counter.  You can use these features along with LabWindows/CVI's libraries to write any number of applications.

Like Mert said, you need to have NI-DAQmx 7.5 or later in order to program your usb DAQ device. However, this driver should have already come with your hardware. If not, you can always download it from NI's website.

The problem is that NI-DAQmx requires CVI 7.0 or later. CVI 5.5 only works with Traditional DAQ, not DAQmx. So you will need to upgrade your version of CVI.
