I can not see my CF-6004 device in MAX

[andrej]

Hi,

I have HP IPAQ PocketPC with Windows Mobile 2005, CF-6004
device, PDA 8.0.1 module and I installed DAQmx Base 2.0 on PocketPC. I followed instructions in documentation I get with DAQmx Base 2.0 and PocketPC is correctly conncted to PC.
But I can not see CF-6004 in MAX?!?
I found out somewhere that DAQmx Base support CF-6004 on Pocket PC 2003 OS but I did not found that information for Windows Mobile 2005 OS!

Thanks for help!

Hello Andrej,

Devices that use the NI-DAQmx Base driver will not appear with Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).  Instead, you should use the NI-DAQmx Base Configuration Utility found within LabVIEW under Tools > NI-DAQmx Base Configuration Utility.

Follow the instructions in the following Knowledgebase for loading the correct task list for use with the DAQmx Base shipping examples:

KB 3RRF2088: NI-DAQmx Base Task Configuration Utility Does Not Show PDA DAQ Device

Also, with the new DAQmx Base 2.1, you can now use the CF-6004 Compact Flash Device with the LabVIEW 8.20 PDA Module to target Windows Mobile 5.0 devices.

I hope this helps,

Hi Travis,

Thank you!
I also found out that DAQmx Base 2.0 does not support Windows Mobile 2005, so I'll have to wait a few days to get 8.20 PDA Module!
