Bad driver? How to update? USB-6009 / old software

[ScottKelley]

Windows 7 32 bit

Tried latest software install - doesn't support Win7-32

Installed from original disk - NI-DAQmx - MAX version 3.1.1

USB-6009 shows up under Devices and Interfaces - with an X

Device Manager shows:

   "USB-6xxx Firmware Loader"

   "The device property code is invalid"

I am trying to collect battery charge data - voltage and current once every couple minutes - nothing fancy.  This install includes VI Logger, which I believe does what I need.  To be more specific, I don't want to buy anything else.

Is it possible to JUST update the driver and fix this install?

OR - is there an easier way to do what I want to do?  (my  programming skills are rusty and outdated, and I don't have time to spend getting up to speed)

Thanks,

SK

Hi, Scott!

If you have MAX 3.1.1 installed that could mean that you have installed NI-DAQmx 7.5. This version is really old and not supported in Windows 7.

I could recommend you a later NI-DAQmx version. All of them are free to download. However, to avoid compatibility issues I would like to know which version of LabVIEW do you currently have on your computer with Windows 7 32-bit.

If properly installed, the NI-DAQmx driver also includes LabVIEW examples to develop simple applications. I could help you modify one of this examples.
