From Friday, April 19th (11:00 PM CDT) through Saturday, April 20th (2:00 PM CDT), 2024, ni.com will undergo system upgrades that may result in temporary service interruption.
We appreciate your patience as we improve our online experience.
I have installed a new data acquisition device (NI 6229) and the driver software that comes with it (NI_DAQ 7, MAX 3.1). Before, I was using the device PCI-MIO-16XE-50 which is still on my system and which was running fine with the previous NI-DAQ version. My problem is that the PCI-cards are shown in the MAX, but when I try to use the DAQ Assistant Express VI I cannot configure it. When I doubleclick it, nothing happens, so that I cannot specify the measurement task. Creating a new NI-DAQmx Task from the MAX still works. What can I do about it?
the 6229 is a new M-Series Card, that means it runs only with DAQmx, the 16XE-50 is an older card and only runs with the traditional DAQ and cannot be configured via DAQ Assistant.
To clarify, the PCI-MIO-16XE-50 is supported by NI-DAQmx as well as Traditional NI-DAQ. This page lists which devices work with which versions of NI-DAQ.
Isabell, I'm not sure why you are experiencing difficulties. Simply dropping the DAQ Express VI on the LV diagram should result in the DAQ Assistant being launched.
