Can't open properties window of DAQ assistant express VI.

I have a program which uses DAQ assistant express VI's, reading several channels from a NI PCI-6220 card. Its been working fine for months but now some of the channels have started acting up, noise and oscillations that are not real. I've solved this problem by changing channels before but now when I try to open up the properties window of the DAQ assistant express VI to change channels, by double clicking the icon, or by right clicking and selecting properties, nothing happens! The cursor changes to a hourglass for a second and no window pops up. I've recently upgraded from 7.0 to 8.0 but that shouldn't make a difference, and even when I tried creating a new VI, and a new DAQ assistant express VI it won't work on this either. I've tried looking at security settings etc. but no joy. Any ideas?

I would try uninstalling DAQ and reinstall.  Not scientific but in most cases will fix the issue of the DAQ assistant.

  • HT1338 I am trying to setup my external drive, but when I do, I get a box that pops up that says You can't open the application "LaCie Setup Assistant" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported".

    When trying to setup my external hard drive, I get this box that pops up and says this:
    You can’t open the application “LaCie Setup Assistant” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.

    PowerPC was a type of processor used in Mac systems before Apple switched to Intel-based processors. These older chips required applications to be coded differently, to the extent that they will not run on the Intel processors in newer Macs. Apple used to include a translator that allowed these programs to at least run, but this translator is no longer available so if you run into an older PowerPC-based program then OS X will give you this error.

    Hi Ashley Clavette,
    The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
    When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what  exactly happens ?  Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

  • Can't open any windows in Safari even after re-install

    I can't open any windows in Safari, even after installing Snow Leopard, not even the "About Safari" info window. I'm using Firefox to get online. I can open the program itself, but can't do anything else. I'm suspicious that it may be a virus, because I'm getting some weird messages on restart, such as asking me if I want to use some wireless network I never heard of, and if I want to give somebody access to my Twitter account - very strange. My son was using a website when this happened.

    Greetings,
    I'm suspicious that it may be a virus
    Not possible, since there are no viruses for Mac OS X. You should ask your son what site he was one and whether or not he downloaded and installed anything. And you should turn off wireless networking and delete any networks that you didn't specifically setup. Use Ethernet to connect to your modem/router for Internet access.
    Are you sure that Twitter is asking to give somebody access to your account, or just authorize them to follow your tweets? I've never seen Twitter do the former for anyone, ever.

  • Can't open new windows if clicking on a link!

    For some reason I can't open new windows if I clic on a link. It's alright if it opens in a new tab, but if it opens in a new window, the window that opens is just blank. I have no idea why it's doing so, it started a couple of weeks ago, and it's very annoying. I guess it has something to do with securityoptions, but I haven't been able to sort it out. Would be very glad if anyone should have an answear to this!

    Try These Possible Solutions:
    1. Restart Firefox and your computer.
    2. Use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+T to open a new tab.
    3. Run firefox in safemode (no add-ons) Go to start>all programs>Mozilla Firefox

  • Compaq Laptop make noise and can't open the windows.. Noise at HardDisk part

    Why my sister's Compaq Laptop make noise and can't open the windows.. huhuhu.. the sound come from HardDisk in that laptop.. its sound like the HDD reader scratched the Disc insde.. how can it be?? my sister scold me already couze she wanna use for her work.. 

    Hi Hawaiian_Starman,
    Thank you for the suggestion.
    I ran the first aid in the Keychain both for verification and for repair and both immediately returned with "no problems found".
    As for the certificate, according the web administrator nothing had changed for the certificates.
    even on the windows laptop I also get the certificate as being expired, but by simply accepting that I still have access.
    I had a pop up every time that alerted me to the certificate issue, but whether I "continued" or not that still did not matter.
    Yesterday, in an effort to find a solution, I went into the "details" and entered to trust this website.
    Now that certificate issue does not pop up anymore. But I do not know how to reverse that either.
    I have the feeling indeed it has something to do with a certificate, but how is the question.

  • I can not open new windows

    When I´m on the internet I can not open new windows, not by ¨file new windows ¨ or by ctrl N. New tabs work but no new windows. It worls well with all other browsers.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

  • Can't open Finder windows or Preferences

    I can't open Finder windows or Finder Preferences.
    When I click on the Finder icon in the dock, use File>New Finder Window, the Go menu, or Finder>Preferences, nothing happens. I even tried opening a folder from Spotlight and "Open in Finder" from a stack but still nothing. I ran a cleaner (Cocktail) but no change. It's like having a virus. (Safari Autocomplete and Facebook login also stopped working about a day before I noticed this).
    The only thing problematic that has happened recently was while I was on familyguyx.net, the page loaded without any trigger to one of those pop-ups that repeatedly appears until you reset your browser. Since then I haven't been on that site but these other issues have started.
    Any help is really appreciated!

    Do you possibly have the Applescript menu or even some text processor in your dock?
    If you have the Script menu, open the script editor from that menu and type this into the untitled window:
    tell application "Onyx"
    activate
    end tell
    Then run it.
    If you don't, open a text editor-if you can-and type the same thing into it. Select all of the text and look for Services>Script Editor>Run As Applescript. That should run the above script and open Onyx. Services is under the Application Name menu.
    If those don't work, let me know what you have in your dock, and maybe I can figure out another way.

  • Can't open any windows app...

    I can't open any windows app from yesterday in my windows 10  version 9879.
    all of the windows app(metro app)...
    It's urgent...
    can anyone help me?
    银光。。。。

    Are you having the same problem where either Email app won't open up or the PC Settings keeps blinking but refusing to stay up?
    I've tried a restart but nothing changed. So, I'll guess we'll have to wait patiently until they find a solution for the next big patch/Windows update.
    I get the feeling that recent update may have done a little harm than progress but guess that's why it's still in the Beta stages before release.

  • How can I open the windows file directory in "WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED" trigger

    Dear All,
    How can I open the windows file directory in “WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED” trigger?

    Blessan Joseph,
    The solution is dependent on your Forms version and if your applications is traditional Client/Server (CS) (Forms 6i and lower) or web deployed (Forms 6i and higher). For CS, you would use the Get_File_Name() built-in as Faa demonstrated. For Web, you will need to use the WebUtil library function Client_Get_File_Name() as Sarah (OGIR) demonstrated. Both of these functions will return the full path to a file. Note: WebUtil is an external library so it requires you to perform some configuration on your developer client as well as on the Application Server. WebUtil is included with Forms 9i and higher, but you must download it for Forms 6i.
    My requirement is user should able to select windows directory for the output.Do you really need to allow the user to write to a file in the Windows directory? This is very dangerous and you should not allow users or programs to write to the Windows directory. Users should only be able to write files to "User" directories (\My Documents\<Directory name>).

    If someone's response is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly.

  • Can't see the "DAQ assistant express VI" in LabView7 express

    i am using the LabView 7 express avaluation package, and trying to use my PCI 6132 DAQ card with it.
    i cannot see the "DAQ assistant express VI" simbol in the "input" box, and therefore cannot connect to the DAQ.
    all drivers are installed, and i manage to log data directly from the DAQ, using the "Measurement & Automation" software.
    any ideas?
    doe's the evaluation version even supports this DAQ?

    GilKlar,
    Did you install DAQ first, or LabVIEW? The most common cause of this problem is that DAQ support was installed before LabVIEW support. In this case, the DAQ driver will not find any valid installations of LabVIEW and thus, will not install the necessary VIs. Please try repairing the DAQ installation and making sure that support for LabVIEW is checked.
    If this does not solve your problem, please let us know what version of the DAQ driver you are using, as well as how you are acquiring data in MAX.
    Hope this helps,

  • I do not see the DAQ Assistant Express on Functions Input palette.

    Software config: Windows XP machine, Traditional NI-DAQ 7.4.4 for PCI 6602. I do not see the DAQ Assistant express on Functions>>Input palette. I get error message when I place the Instrument I/O assistant on the block diagram:-" Measurement and Automation Explorer or Instrument I/O Assistant not installed correctly. Please install from LabVIEW CD". I've tried uninstalling, re-installing driver and rebooting my computer several times.

    Hello PJ-SJM,
    The DAQ Assistant Express VI installs with the NI-DAQmx Driver and not Traditional NI-DAQ.  The good news is that the PCI-6602 is supported in both Traditional NI-DAQ and NI-DAQmx.  Check this KnowlegeBase article to find out what version of NI-DAQmx you need and then search the Drivers and Updates page for to find the version you need.  Once you download and install the driver you should see the DAQ Assistant Express VI on your functions pallet.
    The Instrument I/O Assistant is not for use with DAQ cards, it is for using other communication protocol like serial or GPIB.  However, if you need this you can install the Device Driver CD and it should work after that.  Note:  The device driver CD that came with LabVIEW should also contain the correct version of NI-DAQmx.
    I hope this helps, and have a great Friday!
    Brooks

  • Can I use the instrument I/O assistant express vi to communicate with a USB connected instrument ?

    Can I use the instrument I/O assistant express vi to communicate with a USB connected instrument ? My PC is running Windows 2000 et Labview7 express.
    where can I get information or examples on the assistant and USB communication ?

    Yes you can - the Instrument I/O Assistant communicates with message-based instruments through VISA. VISA 3.0 supports USB instruments and VISA 3.0 is the version of VISA that installs with the Assistant.

  • Multiple problems: can't open two windows, browser doesn't close although window disappears, and after working for a while I loose my ability to cut and paste or use drop down arrows

    Maybe two weeks ago I discovered that I could no longer open two windows at a time (I can still open multiple tabs). I am also having problems with cutting and pasting, which is crucial to my on-line job. Plus, when I exit Firefox, it doesn't always shut down, so then when you go to re-open, of course, it won't (unless you go into process and turn it off). I have re-installed multiple times and I have also used restore. Nothing seems to be fixing this and I really, really don't want to use IE, especially for work.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
