DAQ boards substitutions

[JeanPierre]

Hello,

Some years ago I have developped an application for acquisition built for
the acquisition board AT-MIO-16E-2. It is a LabVIEW 4.1 32 bits
application.

Now my customer asks if he can replace the board with the low cost PCI 6024E
(the sampling rate reduced to 200kS/s is sufficient for the application).

I wonder how will react the application with a different board and a newer
version of NI-DAQ. If any problem is to be expected, I doubt that the spared
money can compensate for the time and money spent for any modifications,
even minor.

Any advice?

well as far as i know, if he installs NIDAQ 6.5 or 6.6, it should be OK because 6.5 and 6.6 has CIN which were changed to DLL calls in NIDAQ 6.7.0 and later.

If you have the souce code, it will be easier if you recompile the code under LabVIEW 5/6 and NIDAQ 6.9 and distribute that to customer. That way your customer has to install the new board and latest driver and run EXE.
