Automatically Recognize Network Devices...

[cassidee21]

Hello,

I am using the NI cDAQ-9184 Network Device. When I first start my computer I need to go to NI MAX, find the device in Network Devices and do a Self-Test before opening my VI and using the device with Labview. Is there a way that I can have my computer automatically recognize the device (so I don't have to keep going through NI MAX every time I want to use it)?

Thanks in advance,

Cassidee

Hi Cassidee,

Typically this happens if the network cDAQ is not recognized as being reserved for the current host. You will need to reserve the network device for your machine before you use it in LabVIEW. To do this programmatically, add the DAQmx Reserve Network Device VI to your LabVIEW code.

The following community example shows how to reserve and unreserved network devices in LabVIEW:

I hope this is able to resolve your issue!
