Unable to get DAQ Assistant in Labview for cDAQ 9184

[Sarim]

I am trying to build a data acquisition system with a NI cDAQ 9184. I installed the drivers for the system and am able to get to the DAQ system using NI Max (under My System - Devices and Interfaces - Network Devices) and all channels appear good, however, I tried to follow the procedure in http://www.ni.com/white-paper/11703/en/#toc2 to integrate my system with LabView and I am unable to find the software tab under the device to be able to write the RIO 3.5.1 on the device and unable to locate the device through the LabView project.

Are you using a 9184 or a 9148?

The 9184 (which you put in your title and post) is a cDAQ, so it does not use RIO at all.  It just uses DAQmx.

A 9148 (which is what is mentioned in the link you gave) is a (soon to be obsolete) Ethernet RIO Expansion chassis.

I am actually using a 9184, i did try to use the DAQmx, within the DAQ assistant I went into voltage but it said no connected devices.

What modules do you have in the chassis?

[Sarim]

9201 and 9211. Also I found something more while trying to fix the problem myself, the DAQ assistant doesn't find the device if the chasis is not deserved through NI Max thats the reason I wasn't able to find it initially, but if I do reserve the chasis through NI Max I get run time error that the device is reserved and thus cannot take reading.

Here are the errors i get

Your real problem is error -50103.  It is a common error and you can find the answers for it if you search the forums.

The problem is you can't have multiple tasks (or multiple DAQ assistants) all trying to access the same device at the same time.

Make one DAQ assistant that has all the channels defined that you want to acquire.

Thanks yea that solves the problem
