NI 5102 problem with supported physical channels

[Legend1]

Hi,

I have a problem with communication between LabVIEW 8.0 and digitizer NI 5102. When I'm trying to Create new express task in LabVIEW by DAQ Assistant, there will appear only that "No supported devices found". Here is screen of it: http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m121/Legend111/schemata/psychicalchannels.jpg Digitizer I installed in order, when I test digitizer by Measurement and automation explorer it works OK so I'm sure that digitizer is functional. Is it possible that there is any problem with driver of NI 5102 which isn't able to work with LabVIEW 8.0? I don't know what I would have tried that, everything seems to be alright.

Thanks

Your problem is in using the DAQ Assistant instead of the correct funtion. You need to use the NI-Scope functions on the Instrumeent I/O>Instrument Drivers palette.

Thanks for reply, inputs of digitizer are running OK at this moment. I'm beginner with LabView and I have a next question. When I want to generate signal and send it to output port of digitizer, which function is appropriate to use?

Hi Legend1,

High-speed digitizers such as the 5102 only have analog input channels. You can export some triggers on the PFI lines, but you cannot generate signals with them such as on an analog output line. That would require a signal generator, which could be synchronized to the digitizer, or an analog output card. For Multifunction DAQ cards, usually there are also output channels as well as other types of I/O (digital, counters, etc.), but that is not the case for high-speed digitizers.
