Measurement & Automation Explorer Error

[smacruz]

Hi!

I'm trying to use a NI USB-6008 data acquisition board on my computer.

I'm running Labview 8.5 on a computer with windows vista 64 bits OS. 

I've later on installed NI-DAQ and everything seems to be fine, even when I connected the acquisition board to the computer. The problem arises when I open the Measurement and Automation Explorer which, the first time I run it, took a long time until the splash screen disapeared. Then, when I try to browse the Devices and Interfaces to configure the board, I get the erorr message: "MAX timed out while waiting on a driver". In this way I'm unable to see the board or using it in any program.

Any help to solve this issue is very welcome.

Thanks,

Sérgio

Could you provide the version of DAQmx that you installed?

[smacruz]

I installed DAQmx 8.5.9 (the one that came with the board). Measurement and Automation is version 4.6

I also noticed that when I run the Measurement and Automation explorer the first time in my windows session, the splash screen stays there for a long time and at the bottom right corner it says: "Updating device configuration".

Hi,

Can you try to repair or reinstall NI DAQmx 8.9.5 and MAX.

Thanks
