HI

   I'm having a Data Acquisition  Software that was developed by a programmer long before. My my Card PCI 6013 stopped working and I purchased a new card. When I installed my new card, the software does not work telling that configuration not found.  It also has a file named "NIDAQCard.cfg" in the program files folder. The person who developed the software is not available now, please advice me how to solve out this issue. I hope that you guys would help me.

Thanks in advance

Whenever you replace a card, a new device ID is assigned to it.

so all you have to do is either use this new device ID in your data acquisition program,

or go to Max and change the Device ID of the new device to the ID that is set as default in your Program

You have not given sufficient Detalis about your software, not even if it is in labVIEW, CVI, C etc

Such a kind of details, will help us to suggest better.

Hi
  Thanks devchander . The person has developed the program in VB and I have only the executables. I can also find a file named NIDAQCard.cfg file in the program files folder. Can I do anything with that or can I create a new configuration?? Please help me.

Thanks

Hi
  Thanks again. How can I use MAX to find the device ID of the CARD. I mean what should I do?

Thanks

Does this application have a utility, from where you can modify your config file??

Without looking at code, all I can do is guess that this config file may have the Device number, channel list maybe with channel names, settings etc. ( unless ofcourse, the device ID and channel list are hardcoded)

Just post a copy of this NIDAQCard.cfg file ( i hope it is an ascii file)

And I will see what best assistance can I be

Regards

Dev

Hi
  Thank you very much for your quick response. The file is not in readable format. Can you please give me your email so that I can send you the file as an attachment? I tried to disassemble the executable file after I saw your message and I can see many numbers in that file. But when i tried to disassemble the NIDAQCard.Cfg file I am unable to do anything with that. i.e I can read it out

Thanks

Dear Dev
         I forgot to tell you that the software does not have any config utility.

Thanks

Try posting the cfg file ( if it is small) as an attachment in the Forums reply message itself. ( see below the Message body box)

or my ID is devchander@gmail.com

But I cannot access my email for next few hours. so if you send it to my mail ID, my reply will take time.
