I have a tremondous amount of work. I bought a PCI 6250 M series DAQ card. Received NI DAQ 7, installed it and the Max is not correctly identifying the card. It is calling it, PXI unidentified. I've gone through the on-line solutions. No success. I thought this would be plug and play. My timing does not allow me the luxury of spending hours to install this device. Why isn't Max identifying the card correctly?

Deeply Annoyed,
You mentioned that you recieved NI DAQ7, however you need to ensure that you have NI-DAQ version 7.3 (with DAQmx support enabled), as this is the only version of the driver which supports the M-Series devices. This should then show up in MAX under the DAQmx Devices section. This is the first thing that comes to mind. I hope it helps,

I attempted to enable DAQMx using the "tool" menu and following the directions. The traditional NI device header nevers disappears. It displayed a traditional DAQ card AT MIO ... -16 however I experienced a "run time error" repeatidly as I tried to open the device within MAX. I restarted the computer, same problem. Does this system operate smoothy within an "XP" environment?

Deeply Annoyed,
Yes, everything should run just fine within Windows XP. Did you install NI-DAQ 7.3 on a clean system, or did you update from a previous version of NI-DAQ? Is your device identified correctly in Windows XP's Device Manager? I am unfamiliar with what is under the "tool" menu, but I am assuming that this is the tool menu in MAX? One other question I would have is if you expand the software tab in the MAX tree, do you have an entry for NI-DAQmx? If so what details does it give? Sorry I don't have a sure fire answer for you, but hopefully with a little info we can figure out what's going on.

Dan,
System (hard drive) was wiped then we loaded XP and the NI software. Max tree does not show MI-DAQmx. No details, no MI-DAQmx in tree.

Deeply Annoyed,
It sounds to me as though NI-DAQmx is not installed on your system, or if it is, that the installation did not work. I suppose the easiest way to diagnose this would be to go to settings->control pannel->Add/Remove Programs. Under this tab, you should see National Instruments Software. If you click on change you should have a list of Installed National Instruments Software. If NI-DAQmx is not in this list, then I would suggest that you need to install this (I would think that you should have recieved a CD with this with your device, otherwise it should be downloadable at: http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/BEC182021CEB566C86256EEE00696562?opendocument&node=132060_US) If NI-DAQ 7.3 Traditional appear
s in the list, you may also click the modify option. This should invoke the installer, from here you should be able to install DAQmx support. I hope this helps.
