MAX not detecting PCI 6259 connected to BNC 2120

[Fmiles]

I have the DAQmx driver 9.0.2

I have the card (PCI 6259) in a windows XP machine

The breakout box is a BNC 2120

MAX does not detect any devices and interfaces.

Thanks for any help,

Does your device show up in Device Manager under data acquisition devices?  If not than it is not being recognized by the computer and you should try moving PCI slots on the card.  If it does not show up under data acquisition devices, right click on it and select uninstall, restart the computer and it should install on its own again.

Was the card installed during the DAQmx install, try reseating the card.

Make sure the NI Device Loader Service is started in Control panel»Administration»Services.  It should be set to started and automatic.

Does DAQmx 9.0.2 appear under Software in the Configuration Pane of Measurement and Automation Explorer, if not, it may not have installed correctly.

The device does not show up in device manager under data acquisition devices.

The card was installed when I installed DAQmx9.0.2-which does show up correctly under software.

The NI device loader is correctly set up.

I tried both reseating it and also swapping PCI slots to no avail- it still doesn't show up.The breakout box does get power when connected to the card, though.

Thanks for the help,

Did you say the device did not show up in device manager AT ALL, or just not under Data Acquisition Devices:

- If it does show up, just not under DAQ, right click and select uninstall then reboot the computer and they should be correctly found

- If not, the card maybe damaged, is there another computer that we could try plugging it into to make sure the card is okay

There could also be an issue with your PCI bus, are there any other cards plugged into it and are they functioning normally?
