NI-SWITCH & NI-DMM Example not functioning.

Solved!
Go to solution

I'm trying to run the Scanning with a DMM - Handshaking (NI-SWITCH).vi without success. This is the example on the Example Finder tool. I'm running LabVIEW 2016 with NI-SWITCH 16.0 & NI-DMM 16.0.

 

I have:

NI PXI-2530B Multiplexer

NI PXI-4071 DMM

 

The following is what I get when I try to run the configuration. I would just like it to scan through the first 11 channels.

Did it work anytime before? Can you check the scan list you have mentioned for the niSwitch is valid? Try to use one from the example and see if it works.

It did work before, I believe I just resolved my problem. I had originally had my Alias in NI MAX listed as: PXI-2530B

Apparently it doesn't like having the "-" in the Alias when trying to call the switch. I changed the name to:

2530B

and the problem is solved.
