  1. pallen:

    You mentioned that you were switching to USB to save $$. Be careful, I have looked at the specs of the 6008/6009 and I am not too impressed with the analog inputs, they have an input impedance of only a few hundred kohm. Some people have ran into problems saying their measurments were innaccurate- it turns out that the analog inputs were loading down their circuitry. No counter/timer support and software timed analog output too on the 09, I believe.

    You may want to look over the specs of the USB devices before commiting to them. Granted I have never used one, but have heard other people issues and some have had to go back to traditional cards (PCI, PCMCIA)

  2. Have you tested your 7404 inverter chip?

    I see the connection diagram on the front panel of the example does not show power being supplied to the 7404. So if you made all connections like it shows, you would still be missing two. Connect +5VDC to pin 14 (Vcc) on the 7404 and Ground to pin 7 (Gnd) on the 7404. You can get 5V and Gnd right off of the DAQ card.

    Hope this helps and if you already have 5V and Gnd going to the 7404 then I do not know what else could be awry :headbang:

  3. I curretnly have no hardware in my PC to check, but if I remember correctly, what happens if you right click on the device listed in max- do you get an option to reset it to traditional?

    Only did this once, and it was a long time ago, but I do know that the option is there somewhere within MAX.

  4. Once you save a vi in 7.1, there will be no way to open or run it in 5.1.

    So back up all 5.1 code onto CD for archival purposes.

    Unless you want to save as 7.0 in 7.1, then save as 6 in 7.0, then save as 5 in 6 (if possible).

  5. One issue for serial and GPIB communications is that the current version of LabView uses VISA commands.

    Have you looked at hardware issues, for example ISA expansion cards. It is hard to find 'current' PC's with an ISA bus. And a related note- DAQ driver software; current versions of DAQmx do not support some legacy DAQ cards.

    Just some ideas that came to mind you may want to look into more about at NI's site. :lightbulb:
