I recently installed a system using a PCI-DIO-96 card, LabView 8.2, Windows XP. I have found that the card seems to malfunction while we are running the program. The program seems to run fine for a while, but will intermittantly stop writing outputs. The time between these malfunctions is varied, sometimes after only a few cycles run, sometimes after 50-60 cycles run. I can go into Measurement and Automation Explorer, find the card under the NI-DAQmx and reset the device. This will cause the card to take right back off again. Currently I have my LabView program do this, but it is considered by my customer to be the band-aid solution. Initially I had both Traditional NI-DAQ and NI-DAQmx drivers installed. I removed the Traditional NI-DAQ drivers last night, but was unable to test the results. My questions are as follows:
1.) Is it possible there is some conflict between the two drivers causing my card to malfunction?
2.) I was also wondering whether or not the NI-6509 card was a like-for-like subsitution for this card (which I have noticed the PCI-DIO-96 is in the Legacy section of the digital I/O cards)?
