Reading in MAX but not LabVIEW

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello,

 

I have a very difficult problem reading four counters from a NI 9401. In MAX they read just fine but in LabVIEW they read zero. I browsed the internet and the discussion boards and cannot find anything on this. Please forgive me if this is a simple thing to fix. Im attaching two png that shows where I'm reading the counters and a picture of my task. I know that the whole VI would work better but Im not posting my whole project.  I fixed it where some forum posts I found said having it this way is better. Any help would be great. If you need a certain thing just let me know.

 

Regards,

What is happening in that subVI you have after the counter readings?  You might have an issue in there.

It is just a simple error handler. I don't think thats the problem. I attached that sub-VI. It just clears the error when its not being used.
