DAQ loading as "USB Firmware Updater" NI 6229

[morngoose]

Need some help here, as my DAQ driver does not load. Use to work before.

See attached screen capture, loads as "USB Firmware Updater"

I've rebooted, updated to latest DAQ drivers, made sure the unit is powered, changed the USB cable and also switched the NI device locater service on and off.

Perhaps the unit is bust ?

Hi, 

It sounds like it's likely a software issue; take a look at this KB:

Why Does My USB DAQ Device Show Up as USB Flash Firmware Loader in Device Manager?

I suspect it's related to the NI Device Loader. Let us know if you have any luck with the instructions in the KB.
