Analog input and output with 6024E

Whenever I try to perform an analog output (even using the standard examples) with the following DAQ board (6024E), I get the following error message.

Error 10403 "The specified device does not support the requested action (the driver recognises the device, but the action is inappropriate for the device)"

I also get this when I try and acquire data using the intermediate vi's.
I therefore have 2 problems (analog input and output).
The only way I can capture data is to use the simple AI Waveforms VI, and set it to software triggering so it uses conditional retierval. If I then set out my own Intermediate Vi's and try to use analog triggering, or even software (conditional retrieval), I also get the above message for analog triggering, or this message when trying to set conditional retrieval... Error 10688 " The number of total scans and pretrigger scans implies that a triggered start is intended, but triggering is not enabled." !! This is because i'm trying to to a conditional retrieval and trigger should be off ?!! shouldn't it.

As far as i can see, I have set up my intermediate vi's, in the same way as the simple vi, to capture 3 channels of waveform data (Labview 6i), but It doesn't work.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, why do I get these error messages? All I want to do is set up an acquisition using the intermediate vi's either with proper analog triggering (i don't see why I can't use this), or conditional retrival triggering form memory.
I am using the DAQ 6024E 12-bit card, along with the BNC break out box.

One other question. When I get this all up and running, will I be able to continually output a set voltage level (that changes every 2 mins), whilst continually acquiring data on another input channel?

I have produced all of my other VI for the rest of my program, as they all involve analysis on a data set along with file saves and user interface menu bars etc..., so up until now, I have just used one set of data captured ages ago with simple 'AI Waveforms', to work with. But now I have come back to this annoying AI/AO problem.

Any help will be appreciated,
Regards,
Ade

If you were to look at the specifications for your device, you would see that the only supported triggering method is digital. If you need analog triggering capability, you'll have to get a different DAQ card.

Thanks for the obvious reply. maybe I should read my documents a little more 🙂

I still have a small issue trying to trigger using software (Conditional retrieval), when I use the Intermediate vi.s (but no probs with the simple vi).

Can you tell me the main disadvantage of software triggering)? I guess it's just more hungry for memory.
