USB 6501

[Vicen]

Hello,

I have downloaded the example USB-6501 Interactive Control but I can’t use it. I plug in my computer with the adaptor box and I check the 25 pins of the tester. With a multimeter I can calibrate all the pins and I observe that some of them have 5volts and the others have 0, high and low level, as it is supposed to be.

However, when I run the program and I try to change from High to Low it appears this error:

Error -200220 occurred at an unidentified location

Possible reason(s):

Device identifier is invalid.

If I change the name I have a different error:

Error -200558 occurred at an unidentified location

Possible reason(s):

One task cannot contain multiple independent devices.

Create one task for each independent device.

I don’t know if I’m introducing bad the name or what can be wrong. I would thank if someone could help me.

Hi Vicen,

If you check in NI-MAX (Measurement and Automation eXplorer), does the NI USB-6501 device show up in the Configuration tab? (My System > Devices and Interfaces > NI-DAQmx Devices). If it does, is it the same name you are putting into the "Device Name" of the Interactive Control.vi?

Also, have you installed the drivers for it?
