PXI has no physical channels!!! Please help!!!

[enekofg]

Hello.
While using DAQ Assistant, when the window of selecting a physical channel appears, no physical channels appear. I try to use NI-5122 and I think everything is well configured in MAX (PXI-1002, External PC, MXI-3).

Why doesn´t appear any physical channel???
Is PXI-5122 supported by NI-DAQmx???

I also have installed a PCI-5102, but as it works with Traditional NI-DAQ it shouldn't appear, should it??

The 5122 is a DAQmx device meaning that on a lower level it uses DAQmx, but you have to use the NI-Scope driver to program it. So the 5122 will not work with the DAQ Assistant.

I would recommend starting with the Configured Acquisition example which comes with NI-Scope and you can find through the LabVIEW example browser. Also, check out all the other examples provided before you start your application to see if there is something already written which you can use.

Hope this clears things up.

Hi Jack,

Can you please send me the configured acquisition example?

Mine is corrupted somehow.

Thanks

Hi Shawnyap, I have no clue what version of LabVIEW you have, so I'll send my 7.1 example.

However, if your examples are corrupted, I'm going to highly recommend you upgrading to the latest driver at the link below and using the examples that come there.  If those are corrupted, there's a good chance something else is broken too.

That link doesn't support LabVIEW 8 at the time of posting (NI-SCOPE 2.9.1) - let me know if you have LabVIEW 8 and I'll get you going.
