USB-6001 and LabVIEW 6.1

[nyc_(is_out_of_here)]

I working on a project with LabVIEW 6.1.

They have just purchased a NI USB-6001.

I installed NI-DAQmx 9.9, and the device shows up in NI-MAX and I am able to use the Test Panels to read and set pins.

In LabVIEW 6.1, the device does not show up.

What do I do to be able to program this device with LabVIEW 6.1?

You simply cannot use that obsolete version of LabVIEW. Version 7 was the first to support DAQmx but even that is to old. The 6001 is pretty new so you may need 2012 or later. 2014 is just weeks away.

DAQmx 9.9 only supports back to LabVIEW 2010.

NI-DAQ and LabVIEW Version Compatibility (for Windows)

Thanks all.

It is as I had feared.

I found a laptop with LabVIEW 2013, and the device is detected.

I want to set PO.0 and read PO.1 and read AI.0 and AI.4 and write to AO.0

Do I need to set up tasks and channels?

I can't seem to figure out how to use the DAQmx Device Name handle and be able to simply control the pins.

You need tasks in order to use teh DAQmx Read and DAQmx Write.  You can create the tasks in MAX or do it programatically with the available VIs in the DAQmx palette.
