NI 9205 module not working

[nicksony231]

Hey,

I had a question about a specific module on a NI chassis. The NI cDAQ 9172 chasis, more specifically the Analog input slot wont show up on measurement and automation under the Devices tab. The analog output as well as the counter slots in the chassis show up and work fine. To trouble shoot I tried putting one of the analog output slots (NI 9263) in the Analog input slot and the chassis picks up this fine in Measurement and Automation under the Devices tab. Im not sure whats wrong as the analog input slot was working fine then all of a sudden stopped working.

Hi nicksony231,

It sounds like there maybe an issue with the 9205 module itself.  Can you try opening Windows Device Manager and see if you can find the device there?  When you are in Device Manager, you can expand the "Data Acquisition Devices" and you should see all your CDAQ modules listed there.  If you don't see the 9205 there then you may want to try another slot and see if it shows up then.  If it still doesn't show up, then you can call 866.ASK.MY.NI and we can create an RMA if need be.

Thanks nicksony231!
