Error -88302 occurred at DAQmx Create Channel (AI-Voltage-Basic).vi:1780001

[cjb6970]

Hi all. I'm new to the forums so if I leave any improtant info out please forgive me. I'm trying to input sensor voltages into an NI DAQ but the -88302 error keeps popping up when I run the vi. I took screen shots and circled the blocks that are throwing errors. I've attached the screen shots as well as the vi. I've already tried restarting my computer and the NI DAQ. I should also note that I'm using LabVIEW 2013 Version 13.0f1 (32-bit). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hello cjb6970,

What version of NI MAX are and DAQmx are you using? Are you able to work with the devices in MAX? Also, what devices are you working with?

Hi Lauren,

I've listed the versions below:

NI MAX: 15.0

DAQmx: 15.1

LabVIEW Runtime: 14.0.1

LabVIEW: 2013 Version 13.0f1 (32-bit)

Computer:

Windows 7 (64-bit)

WD2500AAKS harddrive (250GB 7200RPM)

16gb ram

Intel(R) Xenon(R) CPU E5405 @2.00GHz

The devices I'm working with are:

NI PCI-6052E "Piezo Stuff"

NI PCI-6034E "SCXI Stuff"

     >NI SCXI-1001 "SC1"

          >4: NI SCXI-1531 "Piezo"

          >10: NI SCXI-1104 "Analog_In"

          >11: NI SCXI-1102 "Thermocouples"

When I open NI MAX, I can see all the components. I've done a "Self-Test" to each one and everything passes. If I open the test panel for the last 3 indented devices, I can read voltage signals from each one. However, when I open the test panel for the -6052E or the -6034E, I get the same -88302 error when I hit Start in the Analog Input tab.

With these devices, I'm trying to measure various engine sensors that are hooked up to our engine dynamometer. The program has worked previously and to my knowledge no hardware or software has changed (although it is possible since this is in a university lab).

Thanks for your help!

Chris

It turns out some of the drivers on the computer were updated and the newest version did not support some of our old stuff. The old drivers were reinstalled and the errors went away.
