6533 and 6534 Terminal Name Equivalents for DAQmx

Hardware: Digital I/O (DIO)>>High-Speed>>PCI-6534, Digital I/O (DIO)>>High-Speed>>PCI-6533

Problem:
I want to program my 6533/6534 using DAQmx but I am having problems accessing some pins. In LabVIEW I only see PFI lines as options, while in the 6533/6534 User Manual for Traditional NI-DAQ I see other names like ACK, REQ, PCLK and STOPTRIG. What is the relationship between the PFI lines and these terminals?

Solution:
With NI-DAQmx, National Instruments has revised its terminal names so that they are easier to understand and more consistent. Below you will find a list of the 653x DAQmx terminal name equivalents for the Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) terminal names:

Traditional	DAQmx
ACK1	PFI 6
ACK2	PFI 7
PCLK1	PFI 4
PCLK2	PFI 5
REQ1	PFI 2
REQ2	PFI 3
STOPTRIG1	PFI 0
STOPTRIG2	PFI 1

For a more detailed list refer to the DAQmx Help under Start»Programs»National Instruments»NI DAQ»NI DAQmx Help. Navigate to NI-DAQmx Device Terminals»Terminal Name Equivalents.
