How do I get Labview (6i Evaluation copy) to communicate with my PCI-6035E Board (I am using NI-DAQ 6.9 ) ?. I have tested both bo

ard and analog input channel with MAX using a sine signal from a function generator and both worked fine. However, I have not been successful with any of the VI's in the DAQ examples that came with labview (i.e no signal is displayed in the chart window).

However, I have not been successful with any of the VI's in the DAQ examples that came with labview (i.e no signal is displayed in the chart window).Is there an error code being generated by the example? If so, the error code could give a clue about what is going wrong. Also, I believe the eval version comes with NI-DAQ 6.8 Are you using the NI-DAQ that comes with the eval version or did you upgrade to another NI-DAQ version? This could be potentially important info also.

Finally, which examples are you trying out? Try also the single point AI or AO examples.
I'll check back for a response...

1. I did not receieve any error message from the example VI

2. I am using NI-DAQ 6.9

3. The examples that I used is "Continuous Analog Input (Easy immiediate acquisition). I have tried the other continuous analogue input examples too

By default, a buffered operation in LabVIEW uses DMA transfers, but MAX test panels doesn't. You can try using the Set DAQ Device Info to change the transfer mode for the analog input operation to use interrupts (IRQs) instead. This could help pinpoint the problem.

Also, make sure you are trying several different signal sources.

I'd also try looking at the data being read in a simple array indicator. This eliminates the chart formatting from the equation. If you are still getting incorrect data, I'd recommend calling tech support for interactive troubleshooting and a possible return and repair.
