NI-DAQ functions

[CherieM]

I am translating an application that was originally written in LabWindow for DOS (in the timeframe of 1993 to 1996) into LabVIEW 7.1 with Traditional NI-DAQ version 7.4.1. I am using a PCI-MIO-16XE-50 to replace a AT-MIO-16XE-50. Can you tell me which LabVIEW Traditional NI-DAQ VI should be used to replace the function SCXI_SCAN_Setup?

Thank you,

Cherie

I also need help finding a replacement for the function SCXI_MuxCtr_Setup.

Thank you,

Hello CherieC,

First of all, if you are re-writing this application to begin with, I would strongly recommend that you switch to using the NI-DAQmx driver.  This is our newer DAQ driver that not only makes performance improvements on Traditional NI-DAQ, but also simplifies the programming process with a streamlined API that is more consistent across different programming languages.  Switching to NI-DAQmx now will make your application more supportable in the future. 

That being said, there is not always a 1-1 correspondence between Traditional NI-DAQ functions in different languages.  Can you give some description of what you application is doing so that I can look to see if there might be example code available to help you out?

Thanks,

Thanks for replying.

I do not have the option of re-writing the application because 90% of the work is already done (although I totally agree that a re-write is the best way to go).  I found out that the original functions are still available in the nidaq32.dll library and was able to access them through a call library function node.

Thanks,

Cherie
