Does NI-DAQ 6.9.2 support DAQCard-6062E operated in SCM SwapBox under NT4.0

[joe-s]

I tried to install the DAQCard6062E in an Desktop PC (NT4.0) with integrated SCM SwapBox (PC Card Adapater).
The SwapBox is bundeled with TouchStones CardWare 6.0 which is necessary to run the SwapBox under NT4.0.
I tried the installation procedure described at www.ni.com/support/install/pcmcia/cardwiz.htm without success: failure due to resource confilcts.

I already installed succesfully a NI PCMCIA-GPIB card so that the hardware an driver should be ok.

Any help is appriciated!

Hello;

The first thing to try out is to install only the NI DAQ card on your Laptop.
At this point, you can also double check if the Socket of your Laptop is using the native Microsoft drivers. Sometimes, Laptop vendors install those with third party drivers. If that is the case, NI-DAQ might have hard time to talk with those drivers, which will prevent your DAQ Card to work.
You can install the native drivers from the Windows CD.

After you do that, uninstall and reinstall the NI-DAQ driver and run MAX to check the functionality of the Daq card. If everything is ok, the problem is probably a resource conflict in between the NI hardware and the third party board.

Hope this helps.
