Simple question regarding drivers and the NI PCI-6220

[cproo12]

Hello, I looked around a bit and was unable to find a driver download for the PCI-6220, I have recovered this card from an old system and need to install it in a Windows 10 system.

We already have a VI set up, but need the correct software to support I/O. What should I use?

Thank you

Hey,
I think you need NI-DAQmx, NI-VISA, NI-488.2 and LabView Dev or Runtime for your VI,
which versions depend on your Labview Version of the VI.

To find out which versions you need just google LabView + your driver compatibility. The first result will normally a NI Documentation .
If you can't download the right driver version for your Labview version ask the support.

Thanks, unfortunately that's how I ended up here. I found no results, contacted support, they said they cannot help me and to ask the community forums.

Was hoping somebody here knew more about it or had old software sitting around

edit: my bad! The e-mail preview did not show the first paragraph of your reply. I will give NI-DAQmx a try. Thank you!!

Yep, DAQmx is the package you need for all NI DAQ boards.  The PCI-6220 is at the end of its production life, but the latest version of DAQmx (19.5) should support it just fine.
