I need to interface datataker to labview. I copied files which were in the driver zip(datataker driver for labview) into user.lib as instructed in release notes. But labview NiMAX is unable to detect the datataker connected. When accessed through web its working fine. But when in case of labview, when lan cable is connected its not at all detected by labview. When USB cable is connected the datataker is detected in NiMax but Status is "Unknown" and in the top is shows "There was a problem updating the setting for this device Error code: 80004005".
I am mainly trying to use labview, because of the limited capability of handling and manipulating data in the web application by the datataker dex web application.
Please give a solution.

Please provide more information. What is "datataker"? Is this a third-party product? Do you have a manual for it? Can you provide more information so that we can "read the manual", know that it pertains to your hardware, and see if we can understand how it should interface with LabVIEW? [We could do a Web search and "guess", but that sounds like a waste of our time, better to ask you to provide the littlest bit of help to us ...]

Above link is the specification sheet.
Yes its a third party hardware(Datalogger).
After copying driver in the specified folder as specified in the release files. Ni MAX was able to detect datataker through Ethernet cable via "VISA TCP/IP". Then there are many examples in the same(driver) folder. I tried to run high level programs. While running it, an error with error code 6000 pops up. I am not able to understand or rectify what cause this error.
Appreciate for responding.

Thank you for providing more information. Here are some questions:

I have tried it on windows 8(64 bit) and windows 10(64bit).
In windows 8 I have tried it on Labview 2013, in windows 10 i have tried it on Labview 2018.
More details about the Datalogger-
Model No : DT4DT85
Datataker DT85 Series 4
16-48 Analog channels
12 Digital channels
I have Ni VISA installed. I have connected an ethernet cable directly to the datataker from pc. Yes this device is on a local subnetwork(i had to change from dynamic to static ip to be in the same subnetwork). I have tried all the demo routines given in the driver folder.
In all the case I'm getting Error code 6000. I also tried with the serial connection by usb cable. But in that case sometimes it show some graph in the output for vi's like "DT8x AcquireHistoricalWaveformsThruSerial". Sometimes it shows error 6000 and sometimes it does not respond.

Short of shipping the device to one of us to explore, I'd suggest doing (all of) the following:
Providing us with as much relevant information as possible will lead to less "guesswork" on our part.

Any progress on this? Is it due to 64 bit? My LabVIEW just lost connection and comes up with error 6000 as soon as I shifted to a new version of LabVIEW (64 bit 2018). Now it won't even work with LabVIEW 32 bit 2015 when it previously did...

@Xath -- who are you? Are you AbeIEEE, who posted the original question, but hasn't provided any additional information for us to work on? Otherwise, why are you hijacking this post?
