Properties window of daq doesn't appear

[Demettangolar]

Hi all,

I am trying to use NI USB-6001 with labview. When I put the daq assistant icon to the block diagram, properties window should pop-up, but it doesn't. I tried to reinstall it but it seems it doesn't work either. You can see the window that appears when I put the daq assistant below. After this window appears, nothing happens. I would be glad if someone can help me with this problem.

Why don't you use those DAQmx functions as can be seen in your image?

Thank you for your fast response. I put them while trying to see what I can do other than using the daq assistant icon, but I don't know exactly how to control these functions, I'm new to this field. Since the daq assistant icon is always used in the examples I've looked at on the internet, it seems simpler to use this icon. I've been trying to solve this problem for a long time, but I can't come to a conclusion.

Hi,

that's good. Then you are forced to learn how to use the DAQnx functions from the start. 😉

Why do you look for examples "on the internet" when LabVIEW comes with a huge example library in the example finder? None of those examples uses that DAQAssistent ExpressVI…

It might "seem simpler" to use that ExpressVI, but in the long run it's much easier to use plain DAQmx functions. Read this!

I agree with GerdW. 
I've not used the DaqAssistant since graduating from UNI, and I'm glad I've moved away from it.  


As to your issue, Make sure the following option is enabled 

If that still doesn't work, have you tried right-clicking and hitting configure?

Thank you for the recommendation and the link GerdW, I am trying the build my project with the functions now. However, it still seems complicated and I need to use DAQ only for a simple application, I need to generate and control sinusoidal signals by using it. I started learning Labview a week ago for my internship. It would be nice to use DAQAssistent ExpressVI for that 🙂 

And thank you for your response Andreas, I checked the settings and the option is already enabled. In addition to that, yes I tried hitting configure button. Is there anything else I can try?
