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

  • Help with Error -10401 occurred at AO Group Config

    I am receiving the error: "Error -10401 occurred at AO Group Config" and have been unable to fix it. 
    Some background: This is someone else's program who has since left, so I am not very familiar with it. It was running fine a little while ago, until the PCI-GPIB card broke.  We got a new GPIB card (essentially the exact same model; the old one was 183619B-01; the new one is 183617K-01) and now this error appears every time I try to run it. 
    I believe this is being thrown by the "AO Config.vi" in my VI Hierarchy.  From reading other forums, such as this: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/46F78EDD19BA0CC386256CEE007201FC and this: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Change-in-PCI-Device-Number/m-p/2312186#M726679, it seems it may be a problem with properly assigning device numbers.  (The new GPIB card  may have been assigned a new device number while the program is calling the old one).  However, the solution offered is to right-click on the device in MAX and change the device number, but when I right-click I am not given that option (see attached image). On the other hand, it could also be some sort of driver problem.  
    I am running LabVIEW 8.2.1 and Measurement and Automation Explorer 4.2.1.3001 on Windows XP SP2.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi bh424,
    I would make sure that you have updated drivers as you mentioned. If you are using TDAQ make sure to reset the device driver mentioned in the KB you listed.
    Another thought would to be to remove and readd the device in MAX to refresh it, and potentially change the naming in your program to reference a new named device. If you cannot rename the device in MAX you could look at repointing the device in your code.
    Are you able to communicate with the device at all in MAX through simple queries? From the right click screenshot it looks like *IDN did not communicate properly.
    Have you also refreshed the list or rebooted your machine?
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/23B5918E5604915B86256C2B005F4D70?OpenDocument
    I would first ensure you can communicate with the new card in MAX alone. Here are some troublehsooting steps if that is not the case:
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/A80DBFCCAC36EBDE862562C80058856E?OpenDocument
    There is also the possibility that the card is broken as well. If it was indeed purchased from a 3rd party vendor, there is less we know about the card or what could have been done to it before you acquired it.

  • 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.

  • 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 Clock Config' When Running Certain Examples ...

    I tried following the suggestion given earlier on the website link http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/3efedde4322fef198​62567740067f3cc/50f8faa83c79f07f862569f90041855b?O​penDocument
    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.

  • Error -10401 appears when I try to read in my Encoders (TTL-Signa​l) via a LabView-"n​uDrive 2SX-411" and Motion Controller Card

    Hy there.
    Im using two "Haidenhain ERN 420" Encoders with TTL-Output Signal
    A NI-Motion Controller 7334 with an NI-"nuDrive 2SX-411"
    When I try to Read the Encoders Position (with ex.-Programm/Source) the Message: "Error -10401 occurred at AI Group Config ... the specified device is not a NI-product" appears
    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!

  • MXI-3 not working get error 10401 from max

    get error 10401 when triying to access cards in PXI1000 chassis using MAX test panels

    The 10401 error is usually indicative of a problem with a DAQ card, not a MXI-3 card, but anything is possible. I will give you some general tips for troubleshooting the MXI-3 kit, but the DAQ card could ultimately be the problem.
    First, do you have the MXI-3 Optimization Software installed? If so, does it run properly on boot up? This software should detect the presence of the MXI-3 link. If the optimization software is having problems running, I would recommend emptying your chassis of all cards but the MXI-3 and try booting up and running the software. If problems persist, you could try changing the PCI slot of your PCI-MXI-3 card, or, if you have other MXI-3 hardware available, you could switch pieces between the kits. You could even try the system with ano
    ther PC.
    If the MXI-3 kit is working properly, then the DAQ card or the chassis could be causing the problem. Have you tried any other cards behind the MXI-3 link? Have you tried the problematic card in multiple slots? Was the system ever working properly? If you feel the DAQ card is the problem, I would recommend creating a new support thread so that we can get our DAQ Applications Engineers to help you troubleshoot the issue.
    Here is a link to more troubleshooting tips for MXI-3:

  • 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:Unkn​own 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.
    Have a great day.
