Daq Assist

[mike28440]

Has anyone come across, or heard of, the situation where when bringing DAQ assist block under the Measurment I/O, DAQmx options onto the block diagram having the initialization progress bar appear, but the dialog box where you set up the generate/acquire signal information never opens?

It did work fine after my initial installation then after a couple updates mainly of the ELVIS software It has started doing this.  My machine is running Windows Vista, which I know is bordering on obsolete now, but still is theoretically compatable with everything.  If I use any of the applications in the ELVIS software like the DMM or Oscilloscpe it recognizes the myDAQ is there, it is just not connecting in LabView.

Does anyone know of a fix for this?  I have tried uninstalling ELVIS and reinstalling and that did not help it at all.

Thanks

If you use an example program, instead of the daq assistant, can you communicate with your device?

Not sure what you mean by example program.  I have sucessfully run the self tests through NI Max and can use the ELVIS software applications with it, and those work fine.  Also using the DIO connections works fine.  It just freezes when trying to bring the DAQ assistant block in.

Help> Find Examples has numerous DAQmx examples and you should check to see if any of those work.

It's truly unfortunate that you are using Vista. You have not mentioned which version of DAQmx you are using. Please provide that. Since you've been having problems since these updates, you may just want to start from scratch by uninstalling everything and then install the latest DAQmx and Elvis drivers.

I have version 14.5.1 of DAQmx installed

Then try doing a repair first.
