Fausto,
Thanks for the reply re SigCBW.h. I have the same hunch/suspicion and will try that substituion later. So, I can read the source, but without SigCBW.h and its library, I have no means to compile or debug. Boards were properly configured with InstaCal and I ran both with the example Univ Lib code that I compiled (Single Analog Input channel, software timed).
Unknown original developer intention from (2001 to 2004) time frame. I am upgrading a program that uses either a 1208(?) OR a 1408FS (out of production). The program detects and correctly runs with a 1408FS. Searched for the base model (1408fs) and did not find it hardcoded.
The goal is to get the same code to work with the newer, USB-1408FS-Plus. When I run with a 1408FS-Plus, the program claims 'Invalid Board device number'. Looking into the code, that is the ONLY error message that it reports, i.e. it is ignoring the error that was thrown because it is trying to initialize. So it could be any other initialization parameters.
