Generate Pulse Train.vi

Bernie W — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 16:48:51 GMT

I am updating a legacy application using LabView 5.1 and the DAQCard-500. I have NI-DAQ ver 6.9.3 installed. I installed NI-DAQ after LabView. I have no other versions of LabView installed on this machine.

I am using the generate pulse train.vi and get the following error message:

Error -10403 occurred at CTR Group Config.

Possible Reasons:

NI-DAQ LV: The specified device does not support the requested action (the driver recognizes the device, but
the acion is inappropriate for the device).

Looking a bit deeper I see that CTR Group Config is called in a subvi of Generate Pulse Train.vi but I do not understand why I would get the error message on the presumption that the Generate Pulse Train.vi is matched to the DAQCard-500.

Where might I be going wrong?
Is there a definitive way to know if I am using the correct .vi for the DAQCard-500?
How could I troubleshoot this further?

I have attached a .jpeg snapshot of the vi call just to show how I have wired the inputs.

Thanks in advance,
Bernie

Is the DAQcard Device 1 as identified in MAX?

Yes, it is identified as DAQCard-500(Device 1).

Ok the next thing to check is whether you can successfully access the board from the test panels inside MAX. If that works, I would try to find an example that sort of does what you are wanting to do and see if it works. If that works, start comparing the example code to the VIs that are in your example.

Finally figured it out, the DAQCard-500 does is not supported by this vi.
