Dear Clueless,
I suggest you start by running Test Panel to verify that you have properly installed your hardware and drivers.
See this link. http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371556c.pdf
P.S. Duplicate posts only irritate people.

You really haven't given much information about what you are doing.
Which port/pin are you trying to use?
Exactly what have you connected to that port?
What version of LabView and what version of DAQmx are you using?
If you are trying to drive the coil of an external relay, I will again suggest that you use the Test Panel to test your hardware before trying to write code. This will allow you to test all connections to the relay. If it doesn't work in Test Panel it will never work in your program.

Port 1 is part of the Programmable Function Interface and has multiple uses. You may have to configure Port 1 in MAX before you use it as a DO.
Do you know what part of you vi is generating the error?

Hi Clueless,
As suggested a few posts ago, lets start with Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) test panels to make sure the card is working, and outputs properly. After this, then start building a program and testing in LabVIEW. I would suggest trying digital output in LabVIEW with nothing connected to your 6211 to ensure that there are no other factors contributing to any errors you see. If you are using a USB hub, try removing the hub and plugging the 6211 directly into the computer. Also try plugging the 6211 into the back of the computer, instead of any front USB slots you have, as occasionally these have caused problems.If
problems continue to occur, screenshots are always great to post, because they
show the error code and explanation of what is wrong. You may also want to look at the NI-USB
621x Specifications manual.
