error 10401 when the DAQ config file is changed

[ponnaboy]

hi,
I have changed the DAQ configuration file using Change NI-DAQ Config File.vi.Ever since I changed this file I am getting the error 10401.I am using a PCI-6052E DAQ card.I have manually changed the DAQ configuration to the original configuration using Measurement and Automation Explorer.

Shiv,

First of all, I will strongly suggest not to modify the nidaq configuration file, unless you need to, and considering always making a backup copy of it. On the other hand, the way you could solve this is by erasing the file itself. Once you've done that, open MAX, and this will create automatically a new one. If this doesn't solve the issue, then, you will have to uninstall nidaq driver, and reinstall it again based on the next steps:

1.- Uninstall the driver
2.- Reboot computer and unplug the board
3.- Install the new driver PLUS LV component. Link to download drivers: ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/daq/pc/ni-daq/
4.- Reboot computer and plug the board back.

Hope this information is helpful.
