AO Error 10026

[Fleckstick]

I am using only 1 output and have a high buffer allocation relative to my sampling rate and update rate. I am using an E series 6031 card. Why am I getting this error?

If you right click on the error handler when it displays the error, and select "explain error", you will see that the error relates to the number or size of your buffer.

Check the specs of your 6031, you may be specifying to large of a buffer. If not, check the number of buffers. If that still doesn't get you the answer, then go to ni.com/ask and start a support inquiry.

Here is the offical explanation of your error:

The requested number of buffers or the buffer size is not allowed. For example, the buffer limit for Lab and 1200 devices is 64K samples, or the board does not support multiple buffers.

You can also find this information in the NI-DAQ Help file. It gives a list of all error codes and their explanation. There is a Knowledge Base on National Instruments' website entitled I Get Error -10026 which discusses this error and the limits for an E-Series Board.
