DAQ assistant not seems to work!!

[Visman]

need to get daq assistant and a signal generator from the block diagram for a new VI, but found everytime I put it in place and try building the VI the whole labview development suit freeze up. I had to shutdown labview by task manager. I can bring the daq assistant and the signal generator icons from the measurement I/O from the function palate. But, when the setup window launches it just freeze up, can't do anything more. I have labview 8.5 and my operating system Win 7 with XP virtual mode instaled. I have already done some works on this version, but DAQ not seems to work. can anyone help please?

Can anyone help me please?

I need to get daq assistant and a signal generator from the block diagram for a new VI, but found everytime I put it in place and try building the VI the whole labview development suit freeze up and I had to shutdown labview by task manager.

I can bring the daq assistant and the signal generator icons from the measurement I/O from the function palate. But, when the setup window launches it just freeze up and halts, can't do anything more. Did anyone else had the same problem?

I have labview 8.5 and my operating system is Win 7 pro with XP virtual mode instaled. I have already done some works on this version 8.5, but DAQ not seems to work on it, installed it not too long ago. can anyone help please? Thanks in advance.

This isn't expected behaviour, so I'd be inclined to believe at this point that the installation of your NI-DAQmx drivers could be corrupted. I'd recommend heading over to our downloads page and installing the NI-DAQmx 9.3 Driver; this is the highest supported version of NI-DAQmx for LabVIEW 8.5. Not only will this provide your system with the most up to date version of NI-DAQmx for LabVIEW, but it will also include all of the fixes for previous driver releases.

Could you please expand on what you mean by the Signal Generator? Do you mean the Simulate Signal VI, or the NI-FGEN Palette?

Best of luck!

Hello Alex,

I will download the one you suggest and install it and let you know. My appology, yes, I do mean NI-FGEN frequency generator from the Palette. 

Thanks,
