Hello Kamijin,

You are correct that the SCC-68 interface board requires the
use of DAQmx. Though the overall flow and algorithm remains the same for each, DAQmx
utilizes a completely different API than that of Traditional DAQ. Thus, you
cannot integrate a DAQmx task or channel with a program written in Traditional
DAQ. Since you already have a program in Traditional DAQ, I would suggest
taking a look at the online tutorial ?<a href="http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4342#1" target="_blank">Transition from Traditional NI-DAQ to
NI-DAQmx in LabVIEW</a>? for an overview of the main differences between the
drivers, as well as a side-by-side translation of numerous different types of
measurements. Additionally, the tutorial ?<a href="http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/2835" target="_blank">Learn 10 Functions in NI-DAQmx and
Handle 80 Percent of Your Data Acquisition Applications</a>? gives a good overview
for developing a DAQmx application.
I would also strongly
suggest making use of the LabVIEW example programs for data acquisition. These
examples can be found in the LabVIEW Example Finder under Help » Find Examples.
In the Example Finder, navigate to the folder Hardware Input and Output » DAQmx
for a list of ready-to-use examples for numerous different acquisition types.
You can also use these examples as a good starting point for building your own
custom application. Hope this helps,
