There are no inputs or outputs on the DAQ assistant to connect to

[bry0n]

Hi everybody,

I am new to labview and have run into some difficulties with the DAQ assistant.  I am running labview v8.0, NI-DAQmx v8.7.1 and  have a PCI-6224 DAQ installed.  It seems that when ever I drop the DAQ assistant (the instrument assistant, and the simulated DAQ has the same issue) onto the block diagram, and configure it, there are no inputs or output which I can wire a control or indiactor to.  Is there a step that I am missing somewhere? 

Thanks in advance!

Can you post a VI that has these blocks in it so we can determine if we see the same thing?

Here you go...

I feel dirty, I used an assitant for the first time. 🙂 I double clicked on it in your vi, some config panels/tabs came up, clicked on OK and then it built some LabVIEW code around it. The assistant then had inputs and outputs to wire to.

Sounds like it did not build the code in your case, not sure as to why yet. This is new to me.

Sorry, forgot to attach the end result. Note I did have errors come up, they may have been due to no DAQ cards in my PC.

Is there any way that I can convert the daq_test[2] to version compatible with 8.0?

Here is that VI for LV 8.0

Thanks.  I can make connections to the DAQ assistant in the example you provided (though the DAQ assistant does not work when selected from the functions list). Now I just have to figure out why the DAQ assistant is not getting the data to the graph.

Try to repair the DAQmx Driver through the control panels and see if that solves the problem.

Reinstalling and repairing the drivers took care of the problem.  But, for some reason or antoher there is a problem when you leave the daq assistant and it builds the VI, it will crash when I configure a hardware DAQ.
