Hello,
I have NI MAX 15.3 and DAQmx 15.1.1 installed.
I'm facing a strange issue. When I try to rename any DAQmx task through NI MAX,I get this error message:
The thing is, the selected name is NOT in use, and doesn't contain illegal characters! (I've tried several names, including "X" and "MyTask"). The same happens to tasks associated with simulated devices as well as real devices.
The other weird thing is, I can create a new task from scratch, and I can rename this task without any problems. However, I'm still prevented from renaming any of my old tasks.
I suspect some kind of NI MAX database corruption. How can I find the root cause and repair it?
EDIT: Further sign of corruption: If I delete a "new" task, nothing happens. If I delete an "old" task, NI MAX silently crashes to desktop.
Thanks!
