How to install NI6711 (PCI) & MIO-16X (ISA) on the same PC?

[albedo]

NI6711 & MIO-16X work with two differents versions of NI-DAQ: Each version can detect only one DAQcard. What the solution to install them on the same PC?

I know that the pci-6711 is supported since nidaq 6.5 and that since that version the at-mio-16x is no longer supported. Thus, there is no way to get them to install in the same computer. Either you must install them in different computers, or you should get a new board which performs the same operations of the mio-16x. There is a huge variety of E series boards which perform operations much better than that legacy board. Maybe you can get it to exchange with your Sales Rep.

Hope this information is useful.

HEllo;

Unfortunately that combination of boards is not legal. The problem is that the last version of the NI-DAQ driver that supports the MIO-16X board is 6.1, and that version is too old to support the 6711.

You definitely need to upgrade the MIO-16X if you need another DAQ board to work together with the 6711.
