PCMCIA-CAN DeviceNet Card does not pass self test in MAX

[bzielinski]

The error that comes up is Memory Resource Conflict, however WinXP shows not conflict.

Discussion Forum Readers,

I have been working with Brant (above) via telephone and at this point we have RMA'd the board. We're going to take a look at this in house.

Just wanted to close the loop for anyone lurking out there.

I have been having a similar problem.

I have been trying to set up a PCMCIA-CAN/2 card (Series 1, part # 184272F-02) using a PCI to PCMCIA controller card.  I downloaded & installed the NI-CAN driver (version 2.5), which is supposed to work with series 1 cards (other than the ones listed in the Read me documentation).

I keep getting the "Memory Resource Conflict".  I tried changing the memory range and disabling other devices that are using the same IRQ using Device Manager.  This did not solve the problem and after I made the changes MAX could no longer see the card.  The PCI to PCMCIA card is using the same IRQ but I don't think I can disable that & still have the NI card work.  I have read the knowledge base articles and searched the forum but haven't seen anything about PCMCIA card in a desktop.  I also tried switching PCI slots but that didn't help.

Any suggestions on how to get the card to work?  I am pretty sure the card works because I borrowed it from NI.  There is a laptop I can try the card in but I will have to install LabVIEW on it.

Thank you, that was very helpful.  I did not find that article in my search.  I figured it was the adapter and we are going to get a PCI card instead.
