Not every version of NI-DAQmx supports LabVIEW 2017. If you are using an older version of the driver (e.g., DAQmx 16.0) or a much newer one that has dropped legacy support, the two won't communicate.
The virtualization approach incurred a 12% throughput reduction but zero code changes. The wrapper approach required recompiling 84 VIs but achieved native speed. nidaqmx driver support for labview 2017 is missing
LabVIEW and NI-DAQmx are separate software entities. LabVIEW provides the programming environment; NI-DAQmx provides the driver and the LabVIEW support VIs (the palette of functions like DAQ Assistant, AI Read, etc.). For these VIs to appear in LabVIEW 2017, the following conditions must be met: Not every version of NI-DAQmx supports LabVIEW 2017
