Problem with simultaneous AI and DO tasks: Error -89137

[ArunJ]

I have a PXI system with two X-series PXIe-6345 modules. I have to create an AI Countinuous Sampling task, to acquire data from channels in these two modules, which runs fine. Then my application requires to to create a DO task and Counter task some time later, when the AI task is running. But I get the following Error:

Error -89137 occurred at Test_DO_Write chn.vi

Possible reason(s):

Specified route cannot be satisfied, because it requires resources that are currently in use by another route.

Property: RefClk.Src

Source Terminal: None

Required Resources in Use by
Task Name: _unnamedTask<53>
Source Device: PXI1Slot2
Source Terminal: PXIe_Clk100
Destination Device: PXI1Slot2
Destination Terminal: RefClockInternal

Task Name: _unnamedTask<51>

(unnamedTask<51> is DO task and _unnamedTask<53> is AI task in the above message)

Source Device: PXI1Slot2

I get this error whenever I try to create a new DO or Counter task in the same 6345 module, during an ongoing AI acquisition.It looks like the DO task is trying to access the Int.Ref.Clock line, to which a 100MHZ clock is already routed for the AI task. I tried to assign this 100MHZ clock, as Ref. clock for the DO task, using propery node. But it returns error indicating 'harware not supported;. 

I am also attaching a VI to explain this issue.

The proble has been resolved. By setting the PXI 100MHZ backplane clock (PXIe_Clk100) as the reference clock for both AI and DO tasks, using DAQmx Timing property nodes "ReferenceClock.Source" and ReferenceClock.Rate", things are working properly.

Hello,
I am facing the same problem. I am creating DI and DO tasks, and giving them the same sample clock. But I tried your approach too but got the same error. Can you please explain in detail how you managed to get rid of the error?

Doing this solved my problem.

Thanks Arun. It helped solving my issue.

I am using two PXIe 6345 module in one AI task & same two modules in another DI task. I set the clock resources to PXIe_100 & clock rate to 100M in both task & it resolved my issue. Because of your post, I am able to save my hours of debugging. Thanks a lot.
