Error -10401 AI Clock Config Problem - HELP! Hardware issue I believe

My problem ended up being exactly what they said. When I passed the channel numbers to be initialized it was by default using 0:6 (since this VI had been used on another PC with a DAQ card that supported more channels). Since my card only supports 4 channels that's all you can use, I simply just used 0:3. The error was from trying to set up channels that couldn't exist basically.

That's what I did. I'm like you though, I started with labview about a month ago so I'm still trying to climb the steep (for me) learning curve.

If that didn't help, hopefully someone else can. The guys here are really helpful and patient, I really appreciate all their help.

Good Luck!

Sophie,

If you would like to post more information about what your setup is and what your program is like when you get this error, we will be happy to help.

Thanks,

Hi, I have a program that was sent to me by a professor.  I would just like to view the output but when I run it, it gives me this error.  My MAX configuraton is for the DAQmx, and my devide is PXI- 6071E.  I am using the AI waveform scan and im assuming thats whats giving me the error.

The code is written I believe using LabVIEW 5.1 or 6 and Im using version 7.1, im not sure if that could also be the cause of the problem.

I have posted the program below.

Sophie,

When you get that error, what is the explanation the accompanies it?  I have taken a look at your code, and was able to run it without an error, so it might just be something in the hardware setup.  Since the VI uses the Traditional DAQ VIs, I would recommend opening MAX, and verifying the device number under My Systems >> Devices and Interfaces >> Traditional DAQ.  If it is something other than one, you will have to change the device input of the AI Waveform Scan.vi to that number.  Hope this helps!

hi your right it was a hard ware problem, it wasnt connected properly to the DAQ, I am able to get it to work now.

Thanks for your help
