Error 10401

Whenever I attempt to use the analog input vi's (such as AI Sample Channel, AI Acquire Waveform, etc.), then go to run the application Error message 10401 pops up: "Error 10401 occurred at AI Group Config." I'm able to set up equivalent code using the DAQ assistant feature and the applications runs perfectly fine. But every time I try to write the code myself using the vi's I just always get this same error message. I'm very inexperienced with using Lab View and MAX so I haven't been able to find a solution and was wondering what I might do to fix it. Thanks for any help you can give.

AI Sample Channel and AI Acquire Waveform are functions in the old traditional DAQ driver. The DAQ Assistant uses the newer (and better, imho) DAQmx driver. You should look at the DAQmx low level functions. There are numerous shipping examples. You can also (depending on the version) right click on the Assistant and select Gnerate DAQmx Code or right click on it and select Open Front Panel to view the DAQmx functions that the Assistant is using.
Your other option is to switch to the traditional DAQ driver but then you won't be able to use the DAQ Assistant.

Error -10401 occurred at AI Group Config - in relation to USB-6008

I'm attempting to run a simple vi that uses AI Aquire Waveforms.vi to input voltage data that I have coming in from the USB-6008 DAQ. However, when I try running the program, I receive the error:
Error -10401 occurred at AI Group Config
Possible reason(s):
NI-DAQ LV: The specified device is not a National Instruments product, the driver does not support the device (for example, the driver was released before the device was supported), or the device has not been configured using the Measurement & Automation Explorer.
And I'm not sure how to fix it. In MAX, the device seems to be working properly and everyhting seems to work fine in the test panel, so I'm slightly at a loss. I'm running Labview 7.1, and installed NI-DAQmx 7.5 which came with the USB-6008.

Never mind. I'm new to Labview, and didn't realize that I could not use the traditonal Data Aquisition components with the USB-5008 (I didn't even realize that NI-Daqmx was different).

Getting error 10401:Unknown Device Error from configured PCI-6036E

I have installed a PCI-6036E into a PC with a P-II and 32MB RAM. I am running NT4.0 SP6 operating system. Attached to the PCI-6036E is an SC2345 with one SCC-A10 attenuator module. When I try to run either one of the sample solutions or a VI that I have written, I get an error 10401 Unknown Device. The text goes on to say that the board is either unsupported or not configured. When I go to the MAX software, I can see the board and it lists the interupt as IRQ 11 and DMA as 0. The values are grayed out. The SC2345 and installed module are set up as accessories. If I click the Test Resources button on the Properties window, it comes up with the error that the device is not responding to the first IRQ level
How can I fix this? Is this an NT specific problem or will this sort of thing happen under Win9x and Win2k?

Videojet,
The types of errors you are receiving usually indicate improper installation or a bad board. Please make sure you have followed the proper installation procedure outlined in the Hardware Installation Wizard: http://www.ni.com/support/install/.
If you find that you may have a bad piece of hardware, please initiate a service request on www.ni.com/ask. Call into to our technical support line to repair your board.

Error 10401 occurred at AI Hardware Config, when using AI Acquire Waveform vi

I can successfully run applications that use the AI Sample Channel vi, however when I use the AI Acquire Waveform vi the following errors are generated:-
Error -10401 occurred at AI Hardware Config, followed by
Error -10401 occurred at AI SingleScan.
All applications have been developed using Labview 6.0.2, on an NT machine. The applications are then run (or atleast attempted to be run) using the Labview Run-Time Engine on a different NT machine.
The driver software I am using is the NI-DAQ Native Data Acquisition Driver Software Version 6.1.

Hi,
I've found a Knowledge Base on the NI website describing some situations where this problem occurs:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/46F78EDD19BA0CC386256CEE007201FC?OpenDocument
That error code is generally seen when something has changed in the DAQ card's configuration, or the drivers are not installed properly. It's strange that this is showing up only on certain functions for your application.
Also try having a look through the DAQ troubleshooting pages on the website:

Error 10401 when switching to a new DAQ Card

Hello,
I am running LabVIEW 7.1. Initially the computer had a PCI-6024E DAQ card installed with Traditional NI-DAQ 7.2 and NI-DAQmx 7.2. The card worked fine.
Recently I replaced the 6024E with a PCI-6225 DAQ card and it was not recognized by MAX. I then downloaded a newer version of DAQmx, 8.6.1 (I chose this because it is compatible both with the new 6225 and also the old version of LabVIEW, 7.1). Once I installed this, MAX recognized the 6225 and it passed all of the MAX tests, so I think the hardware is fine. However, when I run I get an error 10401. I then removed the 6225 and replaced it with the 6024E again, and the old card still works fine.
With the 6225, the error 10401 occurs in 2 different subVI’s. I've attached a screenshot of the error and the subVI "DIO Port Config" where it occurs. The other subVI where there is the same error is "AI Group Config".
I have a guess for why the error 10401 is occurring. I read on this forum that these two subVIs are Traditional DAQ subVIs, which can't be used if the board (6225) is setup to use DAQmx. Is this true?
In addition to the error screen shot, I've attached a screen shot of MAX with the old card and a screen shot with the new card. You can see that the 6024 is setup to use the Traditional DAQ, but the 6225 uses the DAQmx. If the code is written using Traditional DAQ functions therefore it makes sense that there would be errors with the new card. When installing DAQmx 8.6.1 I was told that "a newer version of Traditional DAQ was suggested". MAX shows that my Traditional NI-DAQ is version 7.2. Recall this was also the version of DAQmx I had prior to installation of 8.6.1.
Could installing an updated version of the Traditional NI-DAQ and then setting up the 6225 to use this instead of the DAQmx remove these errors? If this is a solution, does the 6225 support Traditional DAQ?
I appreciate any help,
Stefan

It takes a little getting used to if you have never done anything but Traditional. I find that it is easier after using it for a few years now. It may be a bit of work depending on how complicated your code is. If you need help we can point you in the right direction. Look at the examples and work from there.

Help - Error 10401

Hi All,
Let me open by saying I am an IT person trouble shooting this for someone else and I have almost no experience with the Labview software. The scientist using the software is only informing me that his program will not execute properly.
A little background; the program I am trying to run was developed approximately 10 years ago using Labview v5.1 and a NI PCI-6052E data card. The machine that ran the program is no longer working so I brought the program and card over onto a Windows 7pc with Labview 2012. (the older installation discs are not available to us)
I posted to the forum and had the program updated via the Version Conversion section so that it works with v2012 (or at least opens). The problem that I am getting when I run it is this error ‘Error – 10401 occurred at AI Group Config. The specified device is not a National Instruments product’.
Tech support suggested an older driver, which I installed, NI-DAQmx 9.6.1, and the error still persists.
The tech thinks that since the program was developed using T-DAQ that I need to update it somehow to recognize DAQmx functions.
Any help is very much appreciated. I am willing to share whatever I need to get this sorted out quickly. Please let me know if you need the program, screenshots, system specs, or any other information.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.
Kristian

I agree with the sub vi assessment. When I open the program it looks for the lvdaq.dll in a certain location, where v5.1 kept it, but finds it in a new location that corresponds to v2012 and this seems to be ok.
Do you have a sample graph you could send me? I only have the one program to troubleshoot. Or maybe point me in the direction of sample programs. As I mentioned earlier I am troubleshooting for the scientist and have extremely limited program knowledge.
Your help is highly appreciated.

Help resolving "Error 10401 occurrred at AI/AO Group Config"

Hello, I know this is a common error but I'm unable to find a solution looking through these forums and other websites. I am trying to convert a program wrote on an old computer running LabVIEW 6 to a new computer (with newer hardware) running LabVIEW 8.5. I've resolved all issues that have came up so far (installing the traditional legacy drivers and such). The only error I am getting now is a run-time error that pops up and reads:
"Error 10401 occurred at AI Group Config" and "Error 10401 occurred at AO Group Config"
I've already run the Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) and that did not help. I'm using Windows XP and my hardware is a NI PCI-6281 M series DAQ.
Do I have to re-write the sub-VI's, or is this fixable? Is there an easier way to convert a program?
If anyone can provide any help or insight what so ever it is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

'Error -10401 Occurred at AI Clock Config' When Running Certain Examples ...

I tried following the suggestion given earlier on the website link http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/3efedde4322fef19862567740067f3cc/50f8faa83c79f07f862569f90041855b?OpenDocument
So I changed the Channel A to 0 and Channel B to 1, but still get the same error. I am doing a VI on my own that is getting the same error so I am very confused.

Hello;
I don't have detail on what exactly you are trying to accomplish there.
Can you give me more details such as what board you are using, what you need to accomplish, etc?
Meanwhile, the error -10401 occurs if you are trying to address a device that is not present. If MAX cannot see the DAQ card or you have changed the device number of the card, you will get this error. So, I recommend you first use MAX to do basic testing with the board, and check if the device number you are setting at the LV VI corresponds to the device number MAX assigned to that board.
Hope this helps.

Error 10401 - PCI 6023E

Hello everyone,
I have a LabView code running on LabView 6.1 (on Windows 2000). It has a PCI 6023E DAQ card.
Everything was working fine for many days, until suddenly today I got the Error 10401 - occured at AO Single update.
if I click OK, the code tries to run then displays the same error again and again. I have attached the LabView code.
I checked in NI-MAX, and the device is located there as (Dev1), and seems to be fine. I also tried restarting the computer but still get the same error.
What might be the problem? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Runtime error 10401 with CWAOPoint1 control

I am trying to run an older application and it fails with Runtime error 10401...the specified device is not a NI product... I am trying to run this on a laptop that does not have the hardware. How can I get around this error so I can step through my code (VB6)? I have the both the latest DAQMX and traditional Nidaq software installed as well as Measurement Studio 8 installed.

The following is the subroutine used. Its giving the error on the SingleWrite commands. VB does not report any references missing in the project.
Sub cmdSetLEDVoltages_Click(Index As Integer)
    Select Case Index
        Case 0
            CWAOPoint1.ChannelString = "1"

Error -10401 appears when I try to read in my Encoders (TTL-Signal) via a LabView-"nuDrive 2SX-411" and Motion Controller Card

Hy there.

Can anybody help me to initiallize/Use the Encoders in Labview 6.01?
thanks, phil.

Phil,
It looks to me according to the error that you were trying to use DAQ functions to access the Motion controller. The Motion controller uses its own functions. There are two for reading position:
Functions Palette >> Motion & Vision >> Flexmotion >> Trajectory Control >> Read Position.
Functions Palette >> Motion & Vision >> Flexmotion >> Analog & Digital I/O >> Read Encoder Position.
You may find a useful example in:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6.1\examples\Motion\FlexMotion\One Axis.llb\One Axis Move with Position Monitor.vi
Make sure that you have configured and initialized your board properly in MAX.
I would suggest that you post your question on the Motion Control section and not in the LabVIEW section. Also, check the Dev
elopment Library section of the NI Developer Zone for the Motion Control section with tutorials and example code.
Good luck!

Error 10401 when running LabView

To start, I am using a PCI 6032E, SC-2345, SCC-SG04, and load cell as my means of DAQ. I have configured a VI for this both in traditional and DAQmx using the example on this site. I can also run a test in MAX and if I push on the load cell, the reading changes. However, when I try to run the strain.vi LabView program found on this site, I get an error 10401. I tried closing the programs and opening them again, but I still get the error. I even have tried restarting the computer, but I still receive the error. Any suggestions? Thanks.

After looking at the program I think I might know why you were receiving the 10401 error with the program. By default, the program doesn't give a channel to acquire from. The array of channels is empty (grayed out) initially and you will get the 10401 error until to enter a channel number or select a virtual channel.
With regards to the new problem, what OS do you have? If you have Windows 2000/XP, then here is what I would try. Go to the device manager in Windows and choose to uninstall the device. Then go into MAX and refresh (press F5) and make sure that the device doesn't appear in Traditional NI-DAQ folder (you may have to delete the device in NI-DAQmx). Close MAX. Then, go back to the device manager and choose Action>>Scan for hardw
are changes and let Windows reinstall the device. Now, go to MAX and test the device in Traditional NI-DAQ and NI-DAQmx.
Let me know if this doesn't get things working.

Todd D.

Error -10401 when running example

I have a PCI-6071E and I'm trying to run the AO and AI examples. I keep getting error -10401, but I've configured the board and checked the device number. Any ideas?

Hi Erin,
The best place to begin troubleshooting this issue is in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX). The first thing you should do is reset the traditional NI-DAQ driver. If you open MAX and go to devices and interfaces>>Traditional NI-DAQ devices>>right click and select "reset traditional NI-DAQ driver."
Also from there you can select your card and run a test panels. If the test panels works, then you will be able to run the examples in LabVIEW.
If the test panels will not acquire any data or give you an error, then do the following: delete the card in MAX, turn off your computer, remove and replace the card in the computer, and re-install the card.
Regards,
Hal L.
