Daq assistant express vi freeze error Labview 7.0 express

[Caner]

Hi,

I'm using Labview 7.0 express software. I cannot use  DAQ assistant because it freezes when I click on it and drag it to the labview page. I have not connected any device so there is no interference. While all other express vi's work DAQ assistant vi doesnot work. Could you please help me?

Thank you.

Dear Caner,

The DAQ Assistance is installed with the driver NI-DAQ-mx. Just verify it in your MAX (Measurment and Automation Explorer)
To install the driver, look on the NI web site: Drivers and Updates


Best regards,

Thanks for this quick reply;

I checked it and DAQ-mx is already there but the freezing of the DAQ assistant still contiues. I can start the intrument assistant but the DAQ assistant vi does not work. It locks up LABView 7.0 when I try to use it.

Hi Caner,

It sounds like your DAQmx driver may not have been properly installed, or perhaps that the driver has become corrupted by another installation of driver software.  What we can try to do is to repair that DAQmx driver first, which you can do be going to your Control Panel >> Add / Remove Programs >> (change) National Instruments software >> (repair) DAQmx version X.X.

If this doesn't fix the problem for you, it'd be worth trying to uninstall the driver completely from the same location (remove), then to reinstall the latest driver. 

When you reinstall your driver, make sure that you include support for your current version of LabVIEW. 

I hope this information helps,
