nidaqmxconfig gives error -2147220712

[NIDAQMX -2147220712]

Hello,

I am using NI PCI-6534 card with Red Hat (kernel 2.4) and I am having trouble getting my computer to configure my PCI card.  This configuration has worked before, but it seems to suddenly stopped working and I am not sure what is going on.  The computer recognizes the card.  When I run an lspci in my terminal I see 2 NI cards (one rs485 and the other is the 6534).  

11:09.0 Communication controller: National Instruments: Unknown device d260 (rev 01)
11:0a.0 Class ff00: National Instruments: Unknown device 12b0 (rev 01)

However, when I run ./nilsdev (in /usr/local/natinst/nidaqmx/bin/) either the terminal hangs and nothing happens or command returns nothing.  Then when I try to export the configuration to see what is up, I get the following error:

./nidaqmxconfig --export config

Error  -2147220712

I have seen other forums that suggest I need to repair the driver, but this is all in the context of Windows.  Is there a similar command to repair the driver in linux?  Any other suggestions to point me in the right direction would be helpful.

Thanks,

Ben

Hi, Ben.

You are correct.  The solution to this issue is repairing your DAQmx drivers.  To repair your drivers in Linux, run 'updateNIDrivers' from the command prompt.  This command needs to be run with root permissions.

Let me know if this does not work for you, and I'll quickly find another solution.  I hope you're having a great day!
