LabVIEW error 10899 when testing a virtual channel

[bberma01]

I am setting up a virtual analog voltage output channel in the "Measurement and Automation Explorer". I am able to get throught that process and it shows up under "Traditional NI-DAQ Virtual Channels" on the left. When I right
click on the channel and then go to "Test", I get the message "Error - 10899 occured at AO group config".

Sometimes when clicking on test, the MAX crashes and a random window from LabVIEW pops up on the screen. Then I
have to open the MAX again.

Hello bberma01,

I don't like to give you this type of answer, but in this case I think the best think to do is to unistall and reinstall your driver. While we are at it, DAQmx is the newest driver and is very user friendly. I would suggest using it for your data acquisition development.
If you need to download the driver, you can find it Here

Thank you for your reply. I spoke to the system administrator at my school and he reinstalled the driver. That did not work. Then he logged out of my account and then logged in with his administrator account. Everything worked after that.

For some reason, you need to have access to an administrator account when setting up channels because I think the "Measurement and Automation Explorer" tries to write to the hard drive or change a system setting.

Yes you are right.
This is a known problem and will be fixed in future version of the driver. The workaround so far has been to give some people Power User Privileges. Try this with your school admin it it clears the trouble.
