Seni,
I was not able to run your VI because if you are using 3rd party drivers then the drivers would need to be installed to run your VI. Most drivers come with example programs that show how you can use the drivers VIs to communicate with a device. I would suggest looking at some example programs that come with your driver so that you can establish communication with your device and also learn how to use the driver to develop your own application. Using example programs can also be a great tool to help debug problems especially if you are just getting started. You can start with an example program and modify it piece by piece until you have the behavior that you desire. You might also consult any documentation that comes with your driver and DAQ device.
If you are still having issues please provide some more information as to what exactly is happening and I can try and help.
Have a great day,

Hello Seni,
Whether or not you need to enter a serial number or other information for your card will be dependent on the driver you are using. I cannot advise you on this.
I can however explain how it would work with a National Instruments card and the NI-DAQmx driver. First you would install the DAQmx driver. You would shut down your computer and install your DAQ board. Upon reinstalling, the card would install and be recognized by the driver. Each card has a name such as 'Dev1' which can be set in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX). This information is used in LabVIEW to recognize and control the card.
I recommend checking the documentation for your device to determine how to call it from LabVIEW or contacting the 3rd party manufacturer.
Hope this helps,
