I am having a problem configuring my DAQ to generate continous waveforms

[jtoronyi]

Hi, im having a problem generating continous waveforms from my DAQ. The setup Im using is windows 98 and the ATMIO-E1 card.

Every time i try to output a continous waveform, it gives me the -10452 error, it has something to do to the interrupts. So i thought that something must be conflicting. So i check, and nothing is. But i also notice that under my system resources for the DAQ, there is NO interrupt channel specified. I cant figure out how to specify this interrupt. I have even uninstalled and re-installed the software, and still, no interrupt. How can i solve this? thanks for your time

Most probably your system is running low on IRQ channels. If you don't plan to use COM ports, parallel port, you can disable the IRQ that are used by those ports.

To do that,take the DAQ board out, go to BIOS when the PC is starting up, look for integrated prepherals or integrated devices in BIOS setup. Under that you will see COM ports set to "Auto" change them to "disabled" and that would free up the IRQs (one each). Save settings and exit. Reboot the machine and insert the DAQ card in. Upon detection by the OS, the OS should assign the freed up IRQs to the DAQ board as needed and you should be good to go.
Hope this helps
