Advantech PCI cards... opinions?

[BrokenArrow]

Has anyone used Advantech PCI cards with success? (not talking about the popular ADAM series, rather, the PCI cards, which appear to be a good value).

If anyone has used these, how much use can you get from MAX, or does it all have to be configured off-line or inside a VI?

Thanks,

Richard

Sorry haven't used it but MAX definitly won't see those boards at all. MAX is an NI application and supports NI hardware only (apart from external devices such as GPIB and PXI boards in an NI PXI rack).

OK thanks Rolf... I didn't get an email notification that this thread had a response (.. ? ..)

I have a friend (no really) that will be using Advantech on a product and they were wondering about configuration. I've never used non-NI PCI cards but I've used non-NI eveything else.
