What is error -200077 and why does it only apply to one of my devices?

[GDBruce]

I have been using the following code as a test for outputting fast digital waveforms and it works nicely when I use my PCI6229.  However, when I run the vi on my PCI6723 I get the Error message -200077, which I believe is telling me that I cannot use a sample clock with the digital output.  Can anyone tell me why this is and if there is a way around it?

Cheers

This device is probably not capable of hardware timed Digital IO so you can not use a sample clock.

If your device only supports software timing you can not send out HW timed DIO patterns.  I could be wrong about this device since I dont have one.

Hi GDBruce,

falkpl is correct. The PCI-6229 supports hardware and software timing but the PCI-6723 only supports software timing. You will either need to change your code or go back to using the PCI-6229 or something similar.

Ok, thanks for the clarification guys
