How to use labVIEW 6.0 control SCXI-1161 relay?

I'm trying to use LabVIEW 6.0 to do simple control on SCXI-1161 relay, in terms of just turning it on/off. I saw that NI-Swtich functions in NI-DAQ 7.1 can do this, but it doesn't come with LabVIEW 6.0 and I heard that it may cause problems with this version. Does anyone have experience with this? All I want to do is just turn SCXI-1161 relay modules on/off with a vi at this point.

In LabVIEW 6.0 you also have the possibility of using the NI-SWITCH API with the relay name, if it is installed:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6\instr.lib\niSwitch.

Or if you prefer you can just use the NI-DAQ API for the SCXI-1161: \Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6\examples\daq\scxi\SCXI1161.llb: SCXI-1161 Digital Output.vi
