Can't configure a device in Measurement & Automation Explorer

Solved!
Go to solution

Greetings,

Wondering if someone has encountered this before/recently: I have Measurement & Automation Explorer open and connect a USB-6002 device. It detects it and displays it in the tree under "Devices and Interfaces". But from there I can do nothing with it; can't rename it, no Reset, Self-test, Test Panels, Create Task, Device Pinout tabs. See images attached. Also, right-clicking on the device name under Devices and Interfaces does nothing.

 I tried resetting the configuration data but no change. The version of NI-MAX is 20.0.0f0. As shown in the second image, on a different computer the same version works as expected.

 

Any ideas on what is wrong and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Nevermind; figured it out. UGGHHH. I had connected the device to the docking station USB port. On a whim/hunch I moved it to a native USB port on the computer and now it is working as expected.
Would not have suspected it would matter.

BTW, the drivers for the docking station are current.

 

Thanks for checking ...
