Using DAQmx with LabView on Mac OSX

I'm working on a project that was created by a coworker, having been built on LabView on Windows. He used a bunch of DAQmx modules, but I'm having trouble opening them on my Mac.

I realize that DAQmx on the Mac is basically replaced with DAQmxBase - my question is if there's a simple way to switch from one to the other? Or would I need to go through and manually change each instance?

If it's the latter, is there any way to maintain consistency as we collaborate on the program?

I'm afraid you have to manually change each VI.

There is a conversion utility only to go from DAQmxBase to DAQmx (but probably I would do it manually even in this case).

To switch between the two APIs, you can use a Conditional Disable Structure and use the OS symbol to change which API is used on each platform.

Note that NI-DAQmx Base is a subset of NI-DAQmx. There's a high likelihood that your colleague has chosen to use capabilities that aren't available on the Mac.
