NiDAQmx error -201003 cannot use a simulated device

[libbya]

I am trying to simulate a PCI-6221 on windows 7 through MAX.  The device shows up in MAX but I cannot run any test panels on it and error -201003 pops up.  I am using NiDAQ 9.0.2 which has worked for me in the past.  Any information on this error would be appreciated, thanks.

I updated to nidaq 9.1.0 and MAX 4.6.2 and that did not seem to help.  In searching for this error on the forums it seems it is usually due to a faulty piece of hardware, but I am simulating it, so there is no hardware involved.

I still do not know what the problem was but it was cleared up by uninstalling all NI software from my computer and reinstalling LabView and nidaqmx.

Hi libbya-

     It soun like the issue could have been a corrupted install of the driver.  Either way, it is good to hear that you are up and running now!
