Hi Turbot,

Thanks for the post and I hope your well today.

I have no forgotten about the post you've made here: Does the polling fast enough. 

Please don't post multiple times for the same issue. I will continue to support you in the main thread.

However, the answers your looking for can be found in this KnowledgeBase Article:

Why Does My USB DAQ Module Get the "Unable to Locate a Driver" Error?

"
Most C Series modules work with NI-DAQmx running on Windows.  The two exceptions are the NI USB-9211 and the NI USB-9215, which originally used the USB carrier, USB-9161.  These model numbers are used when the modules are used in a USB-9161.  When used in this configuration, DAQmx Base is required, as DAQmx will not recognize the units.

The difference between the USB-9161 and USB-9162 is that the USB-9161 works only with NI-DAQmx Base 2.2 or older.

Hope this helps,

Is there any memory or FIFO on 916x, or on 9229.

Need to garentee no data lost in the polling by the PC.
