Hello Hiren,

I plugged that error code into the Explain Error Utility in LabVIEW (Help >> Explain Error) and pulled up this information:

Error -200587 occurred at an unidentified location

Possible reason(s):

Requested operation could not be performed, because the specified digital lines are either reserved or the device is not present in NI-DAQmx. It is possible that these lines are reserved by another task, the device is being used through the Traditional NI-DAQ interface, or the device is being reset.

If you are using these lines with another task, wait for the task to complete.  If you are using the device through the Traditional NI-DAQ interface, and you want to use it with NI-DAQmx, reset (initialize) the device using the Traditional NI-DAQ interface. If you are resetting the device, wait for the reset to finish.

Try the steps listed to correct this error.  If you cannot resolve your issue, please respond with some details about your program and I will be glad to help out.

Regards,
Sean C.

I would also note that DAQmxGetExtendedErrorInfo will get you that information, if you're using C or C++ (or other programming environments).

I'm sure that Labview has a vi to get the information programmatically at the time an error occurs. That way you can take the next step of asking us how to solve the problem right away without first finding out what the error means 🙂
