NI-SCOPE Initialization error -1074135001

NI-SCOPE [5102] Initialization error -1074135001: "Configuration file was not found on disk"

Installed product development matrix:

NI-DAQ 6.9.1
NI-SCOPE 2.0.1
NI-VISA 2.5.2
IVI Engine 1.83
Scope Soft Front Panel 1.1
LabVIEW 5.1.1


The single 5102 board is visible and functions using the NI-MAX 2.1 Test Panel. Scope Soft Front Panel 1.1 works as well.

What am I missing to get LabVIEW to talk to the board?

Am working toward upgrading an instrument acquisition module that used a nasty-to-maintain blend of old NISCOPE (1.0?) VIs/drivers and 'newer' VI/drivers (1.5 or so).

Hi David,

Usually this error is generated when NI-Scope and/or NI-IVI are installed incorrectly. The fact that the Scope Soft Front Panel is working is a bit disturbing since it uses NI-Scope. The test panels in MAX use NI-DAQ which doesn't require NI-Scope or NI-IVI.

Did you try running an NI-Scope 2.0.1 example or is this error coming from your old program? Some functions have been eliminated since NI-Scope 1.0 and that may be the problem.

I would say your first step is to try an NI-Scope 2.0.1 example and see if this generates the error. If it doesn't, then your program must have a function no longer supported and you will have to upgrade the code to NI-Scope 2.0.1. If you do get the error, then you should remove both NI-Scope and NI-IVI and t
ry reinstalling them. Before you reinstall, you should check your LV instr directorys (instr.lib and examples\instr) to make sure all the NI-Scope VI's have been removed.

Hope this helps,
Brian
