Multifunction DAQ
daqmx version
Solved!
Unless I'm misunderstanding your question, it looks like LabVIEW 2020 supports DAQmx versions 20.0 to 2022-Q4 (minimum).
You can check out the compatibility here - https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/compatibility/16/ni-daqmx-and-labview-compatibility.html
In short, DAQmx >= v20.0 is compatible.
Generally, NI drivers will be compatible with a LabVIEW version that is 3 years prior. If in doubt, check the readme for the driver version (DAQmx 2023Q3 readme).
But NI also had an initiative to make their drivers more agnostic to LabVIEW versions. This started with 2022Q3. We will see how long it takes for NI to decide to increase the minimum version required for these drivers. Extending Compatibility Between LabVIEW and NI Drivers with Addon Support
Hi
I know, old thread. But crossrulz had this interesting reflection :
But NI also had an initiative to make their drivers more agnostic to LabVIEW versions. This started with 2022Q3. We will see how long it takes for NI to decide to increase the minimum version required for these drivers.
This question can now be answered : 2 years.
Mentioned in this thread : https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Help-Needed-DAQmx-2024-Q4-Compatibility-with-LabVIEW-2020-2022/m-p/...
In the old days you had a 4 years support span, the current version and 3 years back.
Meaning a NI-DAQmx driver released for LabVIEW 2025 would also have supported 2024, 2023 and 2022.
The new Addon driver concept reduces this to a 3 years support span. As shown in the screen dump.

I think this is more of a function of a decision to not hold the version specific and the LVAddon version of the driver in the package. I'll hold off judgement for a little longer. The 2026Q1 release (assuming there is one) will be a better indicator of what is happening.
