NImax.exe entry point not found TDMS_GetDataValueEx in cviTDMS.dll

[VTChris]

I have a remote PXI-8108 and I'm trying to create a task in MAX.  I have no other tasks as this is my first attempt at creating one.  The following sequence is performed on the remote system:  left click on the PXI-6713 under "NI-DAQmx Devices" --> create task --> generate signal --> analog output --> voltage --> ao0 --> default name of "MyVoltageOutTask"  --> click "Finish"

An error window titled "NIMax.exe - Entry Point Not Found" pops up with the following message:  The procedure entry point TDMS_GetDataValuesEx could not be located in the dynamic link library cviTDMS.dll.

The only option is to click "OK", at which time the box continually reappears.  the only way to get rid of it is to kill MAX in the windows task manager.  When I restart MAX, the remote system data neighborhood has a broken task under it, and clicking on it locks the program up (needs another kill in windows task manager).  The only way to get rid of it is to reset the remote system's DAQmx configuration and start over.

I have reinstalled  NIDAQ 8.9.0, reset the remote system configuration in MAX, updated/reinstalled all the software on the remote system (so that it matches the host system).  not sure what else to try.  I figure this should be an elementary step:  I've done it plenty of times with simulated devices on a host system.  Not sure why the remote system is giving me problems.

I was able to do this on an 8196 controller no problem with DAQmx 9.0 on the controller and my computer having 8.9.5.  Updating to 9.0 or even 8.9.5 should update MAX and hopefully get rid of what you are seeing.  You are correct that the host and controller should have the same driver version so make sure you update both of them together.  It is quite strange that the error is linking to a LabWindows/CVI dll file.  Are you using CVI RT on the controller?

I am not using CVI for anything right now, but that product is installed.  If the update to 9.0.2 doesn't help, maybe I will try uninstalling CVI.

I will attempt to upgrade to the current 9.0.2 DAQmx as soon as it finishes downloading.

Hello,

If possible, can we get a MAX report from both your host and target computers.  You can do this by going to File»Create Report...

Updating to 9.0 straightened things out.
