Hello,

What version of Calibration Executive do you have installed?  When you installed the application, did you install the driver CD that came with the Calibration Executive CDs?  What versions of Traditional DAQ and DAQmx do you have installed?

At what point during the calibration procedure do you get this error, and are you able to calibrate any other devices?

Jesse,

Running Calibration Executive 3.1. Installed the driver CDs that were included. However, this machine already has LabVIEW 7.1.1 & 8.2 installed, so some of the drivers may be newer versions than included on the CDs.

Versions

DAQ 7.4.2f3

DAQmx 8.30f3

The errror occurs during the Setup Step of the sequence. The connection diagram had just been displayed. I select "Continue".

Have not tried other DAQ devices. Trying to calibrate the PCI-6031E to be able to calibrate SCXI modules.

Hello,

The error you are received looks like you might have TestStand 3.5 installed on your machine.  If you do, can you try using the TestStand version selector application to switch to TestStand 3.1?  You do can do this by selecting Start >> Programs >> National Instruments >> TestStand 3.5 >> TestStand Version Selector.  In the application that appears, select 3.1 for the TestStand version and press the Make Active button.

After doing this, hopefully you are able to calibrate you device without any errors.  If you do not have another version of TestStand installed please let me know and we can look into this further.

That was the problem. I made TestStand 3.1 active and the calibration runs without an error.
 
Thanks,
