From Friday, April 19th (11:00 PM CDT) through Saturday, April 20th (2:00 PM CDT), 2024, ni.com will undergo system upgrades that may result in temporary service interruption.
We appreciate your patience as we improve our online experience.
I built an application in LabVIEW 6i. It worked great. Then I decided to upgrade to LabVIEW 6.1 so that .vi's could be edited over our LAN from a computer running 6.1. The 6.1 installer recommended that I first uninstall 6i, then install 6.1. I did this.
Upon loading my application in my shiny new LabVIEW 6.1, I got many .vi-not-found errors, so I tracked down the relevant files in the (old) LabVIEW directory structure and showed LabVIEW where to find them.
Then I tried to run LabVIEW and received the message "Error -10401 occurred at AO Group Config" I consulted MAX and he/it confirmed the Instrument Descriptor Strings & DAQ device numbers for all my devices. Told MAX to refresh his num bers and he did so. I asked him to test the suspect device's resources (PXI-6704 Analog Output module), and the device failed the test...
and that's where I am now. The only errors I get come from AO Group Config, and the 6704 is the only device with which MAX is unhappy.
credit where credit's due - the NI Support Engineers got me through this:
solution: uninstall NI-DAQ, then download and install NIdaq693.exe LV61Eng.EXE from NI site\All Software Versions\Multifunction DAQ\NI-DAQ 6.9.3 for Windows 2000
hopefully this'll help others who run into similar troubles.
