DAQ Problems

[bfarley]

I installed DAQ 7.1. I drop a DAQmx task on a front panel, right click, and select DAQ Assistant. A message box pops up and says "DAQ Assistant initializing", and then LV hangs. This happens in both LV 7.0 and LV 7.1 on several different machines. Also, I don't have any DAQ Express Vis on my functions pallette. Any help?

Thanks,

Bill,

See my comment to your last question that I replied to on how to fix this problem here.

Hi Bill,

Thank you for contacting National Instruments.

Ed is correct. Your problem is going to boil down to an incorrect, corrupt, or incomplete installation of NI-DAQ. The problem you are experiencing is common when you have multiple versions of NI-DAQ installed on top of one another. I suspect this is the case since you mention that you are using both LabVIEW 7.0 and 7.1. You probably installed NI-DAQ 7.1 with LabVIEW 7.0 and then installed NI-DAQ 7.2 with LabVIEW 7.1.

The suggestions that Ed has given you are all great ideas. Ultimately, you will need to uninstall all versions of NI-DAQ from your computer using Add/Remove Programs and reinstall NI-DAQ 7.2 using the Driver CD that was distributed with your copy of LabVIEW 7.1. You can also downlo
ad the latest version of NI-DAQ from our website using the following link:
