I am trying to troubleshoot a problem I am having.
I have a NI-USB-6212 box and a SH68-68EPM cable. The problem is it doesn’t
appear the digital I/O lines or the 5V lines are making it to the other end of
the cable that seemed to be functioning prooperly a week ago.
When I measure pin 8 and and pin 14 on the output connector of the NI-USB-6212
referenced to ground I read 5V. However when I plug the cable in and measure
pin 8 and pin 14 on the other end the cable I read 0V.
I did a pin to pin continuity check of those pins on the SH68-68-EPM cable and
there is continuity so I am confused to what is going on. I didn't measure any
obvious short between pin 8 and any other pin or pin 14 with another pin either. Perhaps there
is something subtle wrong with the cable?
The cable seemed to be functioning properly as of a week ago.
Any assistance or ideas would be appreciated.
I am using a windows XP machine Dell 3500 with USB 2.0 slots. The green light on the front of the USB-6212 box blinks properly
Thanks
Dave

Yes, I've tried replugging the tightening the jack screws a numnber of times and have the same problem every time. That was one of the first things I checked.
