You can use Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) and NI-DAQmx at the same time if you have two DAQ devices and one of them is using Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) and the other NI-DAQmx. If you only have one DAQ device, you can still use both Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) and NI-DAQmx but only in sequence – not at the same time. You need to reset your device to switch between Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) and the NI-DAQmx driver as part of the sequence. In LabVIEW, use the Device Reset VI at the end of Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) sequence and the DAQmx Reset Device VI at the end of your NI-DAQmx sequence. You still need to create a Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) virtual channel and an NI-DAQmx Task for use with each driver respectively.
