Hi,
While I'm sure you all have wearied of my usual throat-clearing, I am a relatively inexperienced developer, so apologies in advance if this question is incomplete or otherwise lacking.
I recently recieved a Meilhaus Electronics RedLab 3106 DAQ. The manual for this box may be found at: http://www.meilhaus.org/downloadserver/redlab/manual/RedLab%203106_en.pdf
In attempting to use this device, after completeing the "Quick Start" installation, I discovered that the DAQ was not being read by MAX (v5.0). Also, in attempting to use the DAQ Assistant feature within LabVIEW 2011 for this DAQ box (which I have done successfully on this machine with an NI-6008 USB DAQ), I discovered that the device was not listed, with the text 'No physical channels supported' appearing where the channel listing would typically be.
Normally, I would simply attempt a re-install of the 3106 drivers/software package, but the odd thing is that Windows (XP-SP3) gives me the 'New Hardware Found' bubble when the USB cable which powers the DAQ is connected to the computer. Additionally, the DAQ is able to be read by a program that came with the DAQ called' InstaCal', including a command to make the power light on the box blink. Finally, a universal library that also comes with the DAQ has successfully installed itself within LabVIEW under 'User Libraries'. Given this functionality, I am convinced that either it is simply not possible to use the DAQ Assistant within LabVIEW for this particular DAQ, or that there is something within LabVIEW/MAX that needs fixing.
Has anyone experienced a problem similar to this with 3rd party hardware (ideally, Meilhaus) and NI software? If so, how did you remedy it?
Kind Regards,
MG Wilkinson
