NIDAQ Tools MX: Requirements

The NIDAQ Tools package is an add-on to Igor Pro. You must purchase Igor Pro in order to use NIDAQ Tools.

NIDAQ Tools MX supports data acquisition devices made by National Instruments. We do not support hardware from other manufacturers.

We do not sell the data acquisition hardware. You must purchase the hardware from National Instruments.

Supported Systems: Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Any system that Igor runs on, and for which National Instruments has made available the NI-DAQmx driver software.

Igor Pro: Igor Pro 5.04 or later.

Hardware Support: Just about any National Instruments DAQ device supported by NI-DAQmx Software for Windows. That means it supports, among others, PCI E-series, M-series, S-series, USB modular devices, and a variety of devices for use with laptop computers. Certain older devices are not supported, such as the PCI-1200 series and the DAQCard 500 series.

Consult our list of supported DAQ devices.

Driver: National Instruments NI-DAQmx Software version 7.5 or later.

Macintosh OS 9: A legacy version of NIDAQ Tools is available that runs on OS 9 only, with Igor Pro 4 (non-Carbon version).

Macintosh OS X: Because National Instruments has not created the appropriate drivers for Mac OS X, we cannot offer NIDAQ Tools MX for Macintosh.
