Physical channel specified does not exist on this device.

[SriVidya]

I have a PXI 6713 for 8 analog outputs(AO_00), PXI6254 for 32 analog inputs and 1 counter output and 1 DIO card PXI6515.  When I try to deploy or run the system definition file I am getting this error. I am creating only Analog Output channels on 6713 device. Please help me in resolving this issue.

Hi,

I never used daqmx channel on veristand but in labview , it is obvious to declare the device name and the physical channel name.

Here it seems to be empty.
Have you checked on Max , if your device is correctly named (AO_00) and be careful with the dqmx driver use.

It seems you create a analog input channel while your device integrates analog outputs.

I had a similiar problem. i am using C# and the NI Instruments API.

I have a combo box filled automatically with the channels, but we tried to add manually inside the combobox another value to test, and now it does not work anymore and I can´t find where the value was saved.

We tried to input "ai0;ai1" and the error message always show this value and say that there is no channel with this name. I restored my last commit, but even doing this, the error remains there showing the value. Could you guys help me please?

Thank you in andvance.

Have you tried using the automatic hardware discovery wizard?

Go to the system definition file, click on the chassis, discover hardware, select the hardware and follow the istruccions, this way you avoid the name problems.

Hello Andrés, thank you for you answer.

Actually I deleted the combo box and then I had to code it again, and it solved the problem.

Now I am struggling to code the setup that will access 5 channles simultaneously.

if you have any link that could help, I appreciate.

Thank you.
