Error code: 50103 Multiple finite analog outputs from different triggers

[lyzhab]

Hello,

I am using a PCIE-6353. Recently I tried to create two finite analog output task triggered by different trigger signal. I got the error 50103, "The specified resource is reserved. The operation could not be completed as specified". I searched the discussion forums, and I found the problem should come from the fact that one device can only has one task. Unless I use two DAQ cards. I am wondering if I combine these two channels into one task, can they receive different triggers by using some advanced nodes? If there are some figures it would be perfect.

I am also wondering if I can use different tab pages in the event structure, e.g. when my mouse click one tab page it starts one specific event. I just couldn't find the different pages as the event source.

Thanks a lot!

Hello lyzhab,

I have some clarifying questions to ask so that I can help you moving forward:

Were you trying to use the same channel in your two original analog output tasks, or were you using different channels? Using the same channell will always give you the error that you saw.

I believe I have assembled some resources that will help you moving forward:

Simultaneous Analog Output Tasks on the Same Device

http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/2C45C3DC484FF730862570E7007CCBD4

Since your device is an X Series device, you should be able to perform simultaneous Analog Output tasks. The next resource is a community example that shows how to implement multiple channel Analog Output simultaneously.

This next resource includes example code that details how to control an event structure by clicking on different tabs; please let me know if this is what you were referring to or not.

Good luck!
