Converting VB6 code from NIDAQ to DAQmx.

[BorgWarnerNVH]

OK, the time has come.

We've got two machines, running Windows XP, and an inhouse written VB6 app, which controls a PCI-6704 card D/A card, using Traditional NIDAQ.  These machines are being replaced by WIndows 7 machines.  I need help (i.e. guidance) on how to go about converting these from Traditional NIDAQ (nidaq32.dll function calls) to the new DAQmx.

Please tell me this is possible, and also very easy to do 😉

Hello BorgWarnerNVH,

There is not a direct way to up convert your code. You are going to have to convert the Traditional code to their corresponding DAQmx calls individually. Here is a link to some useful information that you can use to find what functions correspond.

There are parts to the article so make sure to scroll to the bottom where the links to the subsequent parts are listed.
