double buffered acquisition with PCI-6031E

[shantaram]

For a meagre 1 channel acquisition at a sample rate of 100 Hz and buffer size of 1000, I get this message:
"Warning -10026 occurred at an unidentified location.

Possible reasons:

NI-DAQ LV: The requested number of buffers or the buffer size is not allowed. For example, the buffer limit for Lab and 1200 devices is 64K samples, or the board does not support multiple buffers."

Can someone explain the reason

My favorite way to get this error is to accidentally wire something to the "number of buffers" input on the AI Config VI. This should be left unwired most of the time. You can also get this error if the buffer size is invalid. This would be less than 3 or greater than 2^24 for your board. See KB 1JAKLN6Q for more information.

Finally, as a check I would run one of the shipping example programs to see if you don't get the same problem. Then you can compare your program to it. Try "Acquire N Scans.vi"

Hope this helps!
