PCMCIA DAQ missing in MAX

[jjhuang]

Hello,

I am using the PCMCIA DAQ-6062E connected to the SC-2345.  When I open Measurement and Automation Explorer, under "Devices and Interfaces", I don't see the DAQ card listed. 

DAQ Drivers that have been installed:

- DAQmx 7.5

- Traditional NI-DAQ 7.2

Solutions I've tried:

- Right clicking and selecting "Create New..." but the DAQ card isn't listed in the list that pops up.  When I select the SC-2345, the configuration utility that appears has the field 'Cabled Device' but only the option "none" inside of it.  Therefore, when I try to configure the SC-2345 and press OK, I get an error saying there is no digitizer.

- Going into the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Enum/ISAPNP/ but there is only a folder titled "ReadDataPort", the DAQ card is not listed under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Enum/PCMCIA/  either.

- When I go into Device Manager, and say "Scan for hardware changes" on the PCMCIA drive, I get a pop-up that says I have ejected a device (NIPALK) before properly stopping it (Windows 2000).  Each time I press "Scan for hardware changes" it gives me this popup.  It also does this for my collegue's 6062E.  The pop-up leads me to believe the card is detected by the system but I don't get any "Add New Hardware" utilities that come up, nor do I see the DAQ card in the NI software.

Please help!

Hello jjhuang,

Do you have any other PCMCIA cards (they dont' have to be NI DAQ cards, just any PCMCIA card) that are properly recognzied by the laptop and can be installed?
Can your colleague properly install your 6062E on his/her laptop?
The NI software won't be able to recognize your DAQ card if the operating system doesn't properly recognize it either.  Have you tried reinstalling the DAQ driver since you've seen this behavior?
Has this particular DAQcard worked on this particular laptop before?
