NI DAQmx Base error

We're trying to use the NI USB 9233 DAQ card with DAQmx Base 3.4 on Windows 7 and we're getting a lot of errors in the process.
The card seems to be recognized properly, as it shows in the Measurement and Automation Explorer (the one that came with DAQmx Base).
But when we open the NI Data Logger, it says "Error 200036 at Requested Sample Clock Rate not supported by device".
We're tried changing the sample rate quite a few times, and to a lot of different values, with the same result.
Also, in the NI Nase Configuration Utility, we're unable to create a task. The Device simply shows up at "Dev1" i.e. without any name. And when we try to create a task, the "OK" button is greyed out.
Any ideas what may be going wrong?
Thank you in advance
Sarthak

Wow, I did not know there were two different things... I thought it just meant it was a base error.
Neil, can you provide all of the code that you have that controls your DAQmx stuff? You're showing a small part of the whole DAQmx process and it's just not enough information to get to the root of the problem.

LABVIEW PDA/DAQmx Base error

I'm building a VI for a PDA (pocketPC 2003)
In a Functions Panel, when I'm going in a menu "Measurement I/O" => "DAQmx Base", it misses many icons. I have installed and uninstalled three time DaqmxBase 2.2 with the same result (icon.jpg). I have installed Daqmx Base 3.0 and the problem is always there. Moreover, when I'm going in menu "Select VI" in a Functions Panels, I can open anothers Daqmx Base VI, but there is many errors (error.jpg).

Hi,
LabVIEW PDA support for DAQ is limited. The number of DAQ VI's available on LabVIEW PDA is also limited.
I could not clearly view your error list but I did run across a possibly useful Knowledge Base article. I am also including the Known Issues with LabVIEW PDA 8.2.1 . I hope this helps!

Error compiling examples from DAQmx Base 3.6 on Scientific Linux 6.4 x86_64

I installed NAQmx Base 3.6, and it didn't output any errors, but when I try to make the examples given in /usr/local/natinst/nidaqmxbase/examples/ai, it returns a lot of errors (attached). Is there a way to fix this? I also tried just compiling the files without the make file, but it returned divide by 0 errors.

Getting error -200452 using DAQmx Base Trigger (Digital Edge).

I'm trying to set up AI and counter output, and I'm using digital output as trigger for to start AI and counter at the same time. I get error 200452 "Specified property is not supported by the devise..." not consistently, but around 5 runs out of 100. Below the error description, the error box shows "This error code is undefined. No one has provided a description for this code..." If I "Retain Wire Values" in Block Diagram, the error first appears after 'Start Digital Edge' block in top counter output line.
Using LabView 8.5 on MAC OS X and DAQmxBase 3.2
The MAC I have is not Intel base, so I can't upgrade LabView and DAQmxBase to latest version
Note: The file contains just a small portion of the program, but the rest of the program does not have any other DAQmxBase blocks accessing the channels used here in code attached.

Hi Azotov,
It looks like the DAQmx Base driver readme includes Mac OS X support for LabVIEW 8.5. Could you specify what hardware you are using?
I found one KnowledgeBase specifying that error code occurs when you try to use certain properties with certain devices. Of course, this would most likely occur every time you run the task, not 5% of the time.
Since I'm running Windows, it's a little difficult to see if you have DAQmx Base "Reset Device" functionality with that version of the driver. You might check if you can run that functionality before using your device, though.

NI-DAQmx Base - "Read or Write task without first setting line states"

I am writing an application to interface with the USB-6501 hardware platform. In my application, I am first initializing all the lines on each digital port to be either read or write lines. After these lines have been initialized to the correct state, I would like to write data to a specific port, or read data from that port, without having to again define the line states (i.e. I'd like to write data to the port based on the already configured lines).
Here's how I approach the problem. On initialization, my program will create a DAQmxBase task which will set the lines I specify as "Write" lines for port0, following this is another task which specifically sets the "Read" lines for port0. When I create a task to simply read or write data to a port (without again defining which lines are write and which lines are read) I receive the error "-200428 - Value passed to the Task/Channels In control is invalid.". If I define the read and write lines as a step in the same task which reads or writes data (respectively), the process seems to work ok.
Can anybody offer any insight to whether or not I should be able to accomplish this task using this approach?
Thank you for your help.

Hello DarkCloud. Thank you for contacting National Instruments. If you create a task in the DAQmx Base Configuration Utility and set the direction of the line, you don't need to reset the direction in LabVIEW. There are some examples of how to do this at Start>>All Programs>>National Instruments>>NI-DAQmx Base>>Examples>>LabVIEW 7.1. Open the static example for DIO>>Write Dig Port. Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day!

NI-DAQmx Base 2.0 and Win Mobile 5

Hi,
Can anybody tell me if NI-DAQmx Base 2.0 is compatable with Win Mobile 5 devices?
I'm trying to capture analogue voltages and my app builds fine and loads to the PDA, but the PDA is not seeing the PCMCIA DAQ card (6062E) that I'm using.
I have run the "Base" installer which has copied the Base driver file/s to the PDA (and I have the Base task setup OK in the VI), but the PDA comes up with an "Unrecognized Card" error. I have removed the Base driver/s from the PDA and reinstalled them but with no luck.
Is this just because Base 2.0 is not compatable with Win Mobile 5?
Is there any way I can get Base 2.1 to work with LV-Pro-8 and PDA-8 or is there some other way I can get the drivers onto the PDA that will handle the 6062 card under Win Mobile 5.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Paul.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Paul,
Good afternoon and I hope your well.
One thing to bear-in-mind is that DAQmx Base doesn't offically support Windows Moble 6 devices - even though they have been seen to work. This is not to get confused with LabVIEW 8.6 which does support Windows Mobile 6. i.e. just not DAQ applications/DAQ hardware.
I am another customer, here at NI UK Support and I have another customer with the an issue with WM6 and DAQ CF, I'd like to work more with you on this.. could you please provide more details on how it goes tomorrow and the tests you do.
For reference please look at these links:

Can I measure pulswidths with daqmx base and NI-USB6501

Can I measure pulswidths with daqmx base 1.4 and NI-USB6501? I can measure edges width this function: DAQmxBaseCreateCICountEdgesChan. But, when using DAQmxBaseCreateCIPulseWidthChan I always get an error message back (DAQmxBase Error: <err>Value passed to the Task/Channels In control is invalid).
I also cannot find any examples about this topic in the software on CD nor on the internet.
I also don't know what values to use for the float64 minVal and float64 maxVal arguments when using the pulse width function of above (see the NI-DAQ™mx Base 1.x C Function Reference Help).
Maybe my device (NI USB6501) cannot measure pulse width's and when it does measure pulse width's, what value will it give back? Seconds or ticks and what is the accuracy?
Ok, enough questions for now. Thank you in avance for answering.
D. Stollman

The USB-6501 counter is capable of falling edge edge counting
measurements only, so the type of measurement you wish to do is not
possible with that device. The data sheet for the USB-6501 can be
found at the following link:
http://www.ni.com/pdf/products/us/20054920301101dlr.pdf
I believe the DAQPad-6015 and DAQPad-6016 USB devices are capable of
measuring pulse width, as well as many of NI's PCI data acquisition
devices.

Labview 8.5 Linux, I can't use DAQmx Base constants

I'm trying to move an application from Windows to Linux, I'm running RH5 Workstation with LV 8.5 and the newest NI-DAQmx Base installed. I've created tasks using the NI DAQmx Base Task Configuration utility.
However, when I create a Task constant in my block diagram, I cannot select any tasks with it, the arrow down-button is just greyed out. The same goes for the other I/O-constants (Physical Channel constant and Device constant). I've tried typing the task name, but the program just exits with an error.
It seems as though LabView doesn't know where to get information about devices and defined tasks, do I need to do anything to tell LV where to look?
A mysterious thing though, is that I've tried running a sample program, which makes use of one of the predefined tasks and that seemed to work (at least it did not exit with an error). Even more mysterious: When I tried to run the same sample now, it tells me that it can't be opened since I'm running LV 8.2.1, even though I'm running LV 8.5.
Any ideas of what to do? Would it be meaningful to uninstall DAQmx Base and install DAQmx instead (i chose DAQmx Base since the last DAQmx-version was from 2005 or so).
Thank you in advance.

USB 6009 and DAQmx Base Concerns

Hello,
I just received a USB-6009 multifunction DAQ device along with DAQmx Base for use on Windows XP with LabWindows/CVI ver 7.1. Both the 6009 and DAQmxBase are successfully installed however I have several questions, I hope I am missing something obvious:
1. The Task Configuration Utility is not needed for use with LabWindows/CVI? I believe I read this in the Getting Started Guide.
2. There is no function panel for the DAQmxBase functions? I even searched the installation CD and found no .fp files. So the only way to know what functions are available with DAQmxBase is to open the NIDAQmxBase.h file and search through the function prototypes? Then, to know what a function does it is necessary to open the C Function Reference Manual via the Windows Start button and search for the function name of interest?
3. When creating a digital input or output channel with DAQmxBaseCreateDIChan or DOChan is it only possible to setup a "channel" as an entire port? Is it not possible to setup a channel as a single input or output line? Similarly, once the channel is configured is it only possible to read or write an entire port with DAQmxBaseReadDigitalU8 or WriteDigitalU8? I was expecting something similar to the DIG_out_line function used in Traditional NI-DAQ where a board number, port number, line number and state are passed so that a signal output line can be set on or off.
Thanks in advance for the assistance,
- Aaron

**Well, the ReadMe file says that USB-6008/9 is supported with both Line I/O and Port I/O. On the other hand, the documentation for DAQmxBaseCreateDOChan and DAQmxBaseCreateDIChan say for the lineGrouping parameter, "Always pass DAQmx_Val_ChanForAllLines." So your question is a good one! Perhaps one of the NI engineers can comment on this.

USB-6009 Daqmx Base 3.3 Cannot creat 2 or more channels on Windows mobile 6

Hello,
I have USB-6009, PDA iPAQ 214, WM6, Daqmx base 3.3, Labview 2009. In order to create new mobile project I use wizard and standart dynamic example: Cont Acq&Graph Voltage-Int Clk.vi. All works ok, but if I add more chanels in VI "Create Channels" or place new VI block and enter "Dev1/ai1", exe on my PDA cannot work correctly. Exception after RUN. I have no idea how build correct application with 3 channels without this exeption... On PC all works. Whay right way to create channels? I attach VI which don't work, for examle. I read daqmxbase cannot support WM6, but 1 channel work ideal!

Vital000,
I forgot to mention that, yes, Windows Mobile 6 is not supported along side of DAQmx Base. That means you might be able to get some of the same functionality(limited) that you would with Windows Mobile 5, but most likely not 100% functionality. This could explain why 1 channel works and multiple channels do not. I will try and help you out, but as this is not supported my ability to help is limited.

How to count number of NI digitizers installed [NI-DAQmx Base]

I'm the author of a cross-platform scientific data acquisition/analysis program (C++ using Qt: Windows and OS X). I'm just getting started on adding support for NI digitizers. It's tougher than I was expecting - there's so few helpful code examples. On Mac OS X I'm stuck with NI-DAQmx Base. I'd be very grateful if someone could help me with a couple of basic questions...
1) How do you determine if the computer has an NI digitizer installed?
1a) Is there a way to count the number installed?
2) How do you synchronize things so that the input and output streams start at the same sample point?
Thanks,
John.

Hi John,
DAQmx base does not have property nodes, therefore we cannot
programmatically determine information about the cards. We typically refer to
our high-speed scopes (51xx series) as digitzers, in which case, there are no
drivers for MAC. Our other DAQ cards, E-Series (60xx) and M-Series (62xx) work
with DAQmx base according to the readme.
If you are using a DAQ card, I would like a bit more clarification about question 2. When you say start at the same sample point, do you mean start simultaneously so that the input and output start at the exact same point in time? If so, I may suggest triggering them both off of the same digital line.

NI-DAQmx base vi's compatibility

Hi All
I have two questions
1. I am using a PCMCIA card 6024E to perform analogue input on a pda. The specifications state that a sampling frequency of 200kS/s is guaranteed. Is there any way I can measure the sampling frequency programmatically or is there any VI for this already available in thevi library?
2. I have written a simple program in Laview 7.1 for analogue input data acquisition using NI-DAQmx base 1.0 vi's (e.g.Ni-daqmx base read, write, etc.) which runs on a pda using the above card. I would like to run the same program using the same card on a laptop which uses windows 2000 operating system. I believe that the NI-DAQmx base vi's are exclusive for use on pocket PC's and cannot be used with other devices such as a laptop. Is this correct?
Is there a simple way to make the program compatible , or upgrate it for use on a laptop or maybe to convert the mx base vi's into NI-DAQmx vi's without having to rewrite the program?
Many Thanks
Rupa

Hey Rupa,
Please dont start different threads for the same question. This will create confusion for the newbies like me. So please hence forth start only one thread for one question.

Can NI-DAQmx Base read more than one channel at a time?

I need to read and record two channels off of my Ni USB-6008 using NI-DAQmx Base. Is there a way to do this or is a lost cause?

Of course it can read multiple channels. In your channel setup, do something like "Dev1/ai0:2". This will read channels 0 through 2.

Does NI-DAQmx base 1.4 support MIO-16XE-50 boards?

The documentation for NI-DAQmx base 1.4 claims it supports the "E-Series" boards. This is one of the E series boards but the driver does not seem to recognize it. This is under Mac OS X.
If I force the driver to load with a kextload command, it shows that it loads a personality named
PCI-MIO-16XE-10 but not the -20 or -50 versions. Is there that much difference between the versions or was it just an obsolete unsupported version?
The board is certainly there and ioreg shows its presence:
NATI,pci-mio-16xe-50@13
but it is matching against the default IOPCIDevice and not the nirlpdrvk (national instruments register level programming driver kit?)

I have a PCI-MIO16XE-50 board and a PCI-6025E board and a PCI-GPIB board in this system. The ioreg command reccognizes all the boards but only the PCI-GPIB board has a driver loaded. The other boards show a vendor code (1093) and a product code with ioreg but do not show a driver match! The lsdaq shows no boards since the kext did not match the board. If I force a load of the kext (using kextload -v) I get a list of board drivers loaded and it says that the E series driver is loaded.
Apple system profiler does not show either DAQ board since there is no driver match. Somewhere in the lab I have one system with a -10 board in it. That was not going to be my development system and I will try to track that one down and swap some boards around. In reading all the NI documentation again today there is no list of supported boards other than "E-Series" boards. That seems to be an overstatement.
Or the driver is completely installed incorrectly.
But I will bet $$ to donuts that in this case I have 9 unsupported boards and 1 supported board. That is not a great batting average! It would have been nice if the read-me file had a few more specifics. This was obviously a choice in support decisions of supporting old hardware so it was not an accident.
