error -89129 "Terminal for the device is invalid Destination device: Dev4 Terminal Ctr6Out"

[Reload]

Hello!

The problem apears when I try to generate a signal of 200 samples at 2MH on one digital line with an PCI-6534

When I try to create the channel    nStatus = DAQmxCreateDOChan (m_taskHandle, "/Dev5/port0/line0:7", "", DAQmx_Val_ChanPerLine);

I receive the error -89129 with the following message:

               "Terminal for this deviece is invalid

                Destination device: Dev4

                Terminal: Ctr6Out"

I have also installed in the system another 2 NI boards: PCI-6602 and PCI-6035

Before to get this error, I also do some stufs with 6534, but with a 16 lines channel, configured like this  nStatus = DAQmxCreateDOChan (m_taskHandle, "/Dev5/port0_16", "", DAQmx_Val_ChanForAllLines); and I don't get any errors.

Hello,

Thank you for posting to the NI Forums! Have you tried using a test panel in Measurement and Automation Explorer? You will see the 6534 listed under Devices and Interfaces. By right clicking on the device, you can access the test panels. Use this to test the functionality of the code. Also, if you have LabVIEW available, try creating the channel in LabVIEW and seeing if you get the same results. Please post back the outcome of these suggestions. Hope this helps!
