Hello ITW,
All E-series cards, including your PCI-6034E, are supported under both
the Traditional NI-DAQ and NI-DAQmx drivers. For Windows XP, you
should use the latest versions of these, which can be found
here
(at this time Trad. NI-DAQ 7.4.1 and NI-DAQmx 8.0.1). You can
install one or both of these drivers, but I recommend having both
installed. There are categories in Measurement & Automation
Explorer (MAX) for both NI-DAQmx devices and Traditional NI-DAQ
devices, and your card will show up under both categories if you have
both drivers for the card installed. Does your device show up in
MAX anywhere? Also, check if the card shows up properly in the
Windows Device Manager.
If after trying to upgrade your drivers the device is no longer being
recognized, most likely something went wrong during the installation
process. I would recommend performing a full uninstall and reinstall of
both the Traditional NI-DAQ and NI-DAQmx drivers. Make sure to
remove the card from your system, reinstall the drivers, and after the
installation is complete, reboot your system with the card back in
it. If this doesn't help to get your card recognized in the
Device Manager and in MAX, reply to this post and we can give you some
further troubleshooting suggestions.
The Measurement Studio for Visual Studio 6.0 includes Traditional
NI-DAQ ActiveX controls for use with your PCI-6034E. Make sure to
update Measurement Studio 6.0 with the
patch,
which includes updates specifically for these Traditional NI-DAQ
ActiveX controls in VB 6.0. Let us know if you can get your card
recognized and the patch applied.
Regards.
