How to use 6518

[Rlima]

 
     Hi all...
     Good morning..
 
     I just install  my PCI 6518 board,  I can see the device on  MAX, it pass self test, but when
     I try to read a port 0,1,2,3 using LabVIEW 7.1.  I get an error that says my device is not a
     NI board,    I'using  "read from digital port"  (device 1, port 0).  I use before other board and
     have no problem,  maybe this 6518  its different.
 
      I just want to read 12 input signal from sensor and drive 4 outputs  (24VDC)
 
      Best Regards.

      Hi  Dennis.
     I got the software with the DAQ,  I installed, then reebot the PC, and I still getting the same error message.  Do I need to confugure the board? (don't think so)  I have sinking and sourcing ports on the 6518, 
     I install LabVIEW 7.1 and the software I got with the card is 8.20 but it will still support 7.1
     I had long time using labVIEW  and several boards,  I know this a traditional board should work as other  boards,
     Regards.
