I originally installed Traditional DAQ 7.0, and it read the PCI card in MAX. However when I attempted to run LabVIEW as an operator, numerous errors popped up, all of which traced back to an inability to locate a library. I double-and triple-checked the library location and the program did not have the same errors when I was logged in as an administrator. When I was an administrator, I received an "unknown" error related to DataSocket Write when I tried to run the machine's VI.
I called NI about the problem, and they suggested that I use DAQ 6.9.3 or 7.1, neither of which will read the card. Each time I tried a new version of DAQ, I first uninstalled the previous version and had to re-install the driver for the PCI-6036E. Each time, the version of DAQ had a driver for the card but then the card was not recognized in MAX.
I have no experience with LabVIEW or NIDAQ, so I would not be surprised if there was something simple and basic that I'm missing. My current plan is to just use some basic examples of how to read Analog Inputs on my PCI-6036E using whatever version of DAQ, and just run that to see if I get any reading at all. From there, I'll at least know that the card and the DAQ are functioning together properly, and I can turn my attention to getting the data into a VI. Any other suggestions, ideas, comments? Let me know. Thanks.
