I have an application where I have 2 6501s fed through a USB hub. The two 6501s are configured for different tasks. I created aliases for both, then exported the configuration file to our network. The application will be run on several different test station computers later. At one of the test stations during development I imported the configuration file from the network and my program runs fine MOST of the time. Occasionally MAX cannot recognize the DAQs when they’re connected. When I click on an alias, MAX does a REFRESH for several minutes, and when that stops I do the Self Test and it fails telling me the device is not connected, but it IS connected. This applies to both 6501s. Rebooting the pc USUALLY cures this problem. One time rebooting didn’t. I disconnected the DAQs (hub) and tried to delete the aliases and start over, but the DELETE option didn’t appear when I right clicked on the alias. Only after rebooting with DAQs disconnected could I right click, delete, then reconnect the DAQs and import the config file, replacing the Dev1 and Dev2, and it worked properly. Why does this problem occur to begin with? What must I do to make the computer recognize the 6501s RELIABLY?
