DAQ Assistant/Labview crash

[GovindS]

Hi:

I am running into a wierd problem when using DAQ Assistant to configure my channels from labview. 

I am trying to configure a channel on NI-USB-9162 to measure accelerometer data. I create my vi and use DAQ Assistant (dbl click DAQ assistant vi on the block diagram) to change the default settings (all 4 channels set to aqcuire voltage). I remove all default channels and add a virtual channel (ch. 1) to acquire acceleration. When I press OK on the DAQ assistant to save my changes and return back to my vi, I get a message saying that labviewhas encountered an error and needs to shutdown. This is repeatable. If I cancel out of DAQ Assistant, there is no crash.

I am using labview 8.0 on a windows xp pro.

I apologize if this has been asked before. 

Thanks,

There's this issue which is a known LabVIEW 8.0 / DAQ Assistant issue. Not precisely what is happening to you, but so closely related, I'd suspect a bug.

I would recommend re-writing it without using DAQ Assistant.

Govind,

This is a known issue with LabVIEW 8.0, as described in this KnowledgeBase.  The solution is to upgrade to LabVIEW 8.2 or any newer version.

Or re-write it to not use cheeze-ball DAQ Assistant?
