unnamedTask<1D7E3>

[papajens]

I am constantly getting this error, sometimes it take 3 minute, sometimes it take 2 hours. I can never get a full experiment in before it stops recording.  Each experiment takes about 2-3 hours.

Error Code:

"Read cannot be performed because this version of DAQmx Read does not match the type of channels in the task. Use the version of DAQmx Read that corresponds to the channel type.

Requested Channel Type: Analog Input
Type of Channels Already in Task: Digital Input

Task Name: _unnamedTask<1D7E3>"

I am using a myDAQ to record battery test

What is the error number?

Use block diagram cleanup on your VI to clean up that wiring.

What if you got rid of the DAQ Assistant and used the real DAQmx functions?

Edit:

Stupid Khoros ate my post!

Yes that would fix it.

I have never heard (besides in the error) of or used DAQmx. Do you have any suggestions where i could see a good tutorial.

Hi papajens,

search for "daqmx 10 functions" using your favourite search engine...

Thank you GerdW,

I rebuilt the VI with DAQmx functions. I was able get the program to successfully read the data from the myDAQ.  I am currently running the VI with no error yet. 

Sorry for my ignorance. I was not able to figure out how to write the data to a excel file yet. I am still using the write to fill function. I am hopping the changes I made will work.

If you attach your code and not a picture you will get more help. There are a few different ways to save the data to file. When you are ready for that come back for help but post your code.

Hi jens,

why don't you use AutoCleanup?

Beside this annoyance: there are a lot of functions in the file palette! Did you explore them?

[papajens]

Thank guys for the help.

I am running into a new error. My programs runs fine for a while (about one hour) then it pause the VI and prompts "choose or enter path file" in the format of a .zip. After that is starts to do the same thing ever few minutes when I reinitialize the VI. There is no error message that pops up, just the choose file window. My write function is set to automatically append to a file.

Any ideas?

Here is my code. I am still interested in the different ways to save the data to file. I ran into a new issue. My programs runs fine for a while (about one hour) then it pause the VI and prompts "choose or enter path file" in the format of a .zip. After that is starts to do the same thing ever few minutes when I reinitialize the VI. There is no error message that pops up, just the choose file window.
