When installing a NI 5112, I get an error message when running the test panel.

[T Allen]

I have recently decided to reinstall my PCI 5112 high speed digitizer in a different computer, for practical reasons. After having installed the software, hardware and successfully passing the self test, an error (10800) occurs when running the test panels. The signal applied to the channel and the different parameters used, worked fine with the previous computer but not with this one. Any idea why?

Thanks,

Thomas

Hello Thomas,

   The error code you are getting is related to the board not recording enough samples in the given time interval.  May I ask which series of PCI card you are using. This can be found by looking at the device in Measurement and Automation Explorer and looking under devices and interfaces. The series letter is the one on the end of the number after the hyphen. E.g. PCI-MIO-16E-4 would be an E-series board.

Also which versions of Measurement and Automation Explorerand NI-Scope are you running? Are these the same versions as you used in the old PC system? Sometimes an upgrade in the version is all that is required to fix such a problem but unfortunately it can sometimes cause a problem if you upgrade! It would depend on the versions you are currently running and the series of the board that you are using.
