Imac problems in labview

[koenrtaad dumont]

hello,

Using Labview 5.1 and Imaq boards PCI 1408 and PCI 1411 with driver version
2.2., I have the following problems:
Under measurement and automatisation the devices are working fine with both
boards (a colour camera on the 1411 and a spectrograph on the 1408), I have
a program in labview 5.1 and the advanced IMAQ vision toolbox to acquire
the data and the images
everything was working well untill I had to reinstall windows, since then
there are no images acquired under the labview program and the image windows
just show a gray field and the images are not saved to disk. I checked the
interface files and they are the same as in measurements and automatisation.
But if I deliberatly change the interface file in the labview progr
am (init
VI) to a wrong file name the result is the same. So I suppose there is a
problem with the initialisation of the cards. Could it be a windows 98 problem,
the program was running under windows 95 before? I tried to run the program
on a 95 computer and the same problems occur. By the way, I had to reinstall
window because it was giving general protection errors during the IMAQ initialisation
during startup.

I would really appreciate some help...

TIA
Koenraad

Hello Koenrad,
I have the Imaq board 1408 with NI Imaq 2.2, on my no name PC, under WIN
95, installed last july, still working with no problems at all 24 hours a
day, including several reinstallations of operating system, and NI SW, even
LabView and some vi.s in LabView for daily usage of Imaq data.
Did you tried to change the whole computer? I know this is not a very smart
suggestion, but sometimes it gives a result, and also is a good start point
to eliminate the possible problem.
Best regards, Nena

Koenrtaad,
Do your devices run under 98 (dumb question but sometimes these
types of things are often overlooked!) Maybe you need new drivers for 98
Did you re-install DAQ or VISA - both. I'm assuming you are using them
Do your devices show up in your control panel? Sometimes the PCI bridge
will give you trouble when installing pci devices. Well hope these few things
may have helped a little
Best Regards,
Pat
