Hi!
Ive got a USB 8452 and trying to use it to read data from a digital eccelometer.
Ive installed and updated the drivers multiple times but the device is still showing RAW mode
in matlab the line: instrhwinfo('ni845x')
returnes the error:
Error using instrhwinfo
Invalid INTERFACE specified. Type 'instrhelp instrhwinfo' for a list of valid INTERFACEs.
and in Labview , itried using the read/write examples but im getting back an ED bit when tring to ping the device.
The USB light is on and on labview the status light blinked when starting the examples with the correct settings.
also right clicking on the device in NI max doesnt give any options
GPT suggest that the PC doesnt apply the drivers correctly to the device but no suggested method help so far
does anyone has a lead/ exipenced a similar problem?
thanks a lot 🙂

Hi pokobar,
The USB 8452 device being shown in RAW mode in NI MAX is expected. The fact that the ED bit is turned on could be due to issues not related to the driver / USB 8452, for example wrong i2c address.
I hope you were able to get the i2c communication working! Let me know if there are further questions.
Best regards
Leonard
