USB-6501

Hi,

 

We have purchased 2 USB-6501. As soon as we plug the device into a Windows 11 PC, the device registers as USB-6501 and quickly changes to "firmware loader" and the device no longer functions.

 

What is the problem?

Why would this happen?

How can this be fixed?

 

Malcolm

Hi, this solution does not work at all. Apparently any USB-6501 I plug in bricks.... but my other DAQs work perfectly fine (I need to use the 6501 because of a software compatibility with a 3rd party software)... Help would be appreciated.

You can talk to NI Tech Support to help unbrick your 6501

I didn't know about the article linked to by Santo_13, but see this post for a solution that worked for me.
