VI logger crashes when running a task

[lukejc]

I am using VI Logger Lite 2.0.1

I have created a logging task, continously sampling 1 analogue voltage channel at 100k samples/s.

When I click on 'test' in the task attributes/aquisition setting part it comes up with a trace of the data.
However when I click 'run task' after a second the program gives the error:

"
Engine Error!
Error code = -1967362023(0x8abc7019)
Description = Error -1967362023 occured at an unidentified location

Possible reason(s):

Windows GetCommError:  The hex value of this code is x4000.

Interpret it bit-wise as follows:
x4000: serial port VI error

....it then lists about 15 other hex values of error codes their text explaination.
"

Note:
Other users of the system, sample with near identical settings from igor without any problems
I've also tryed lowing the aquistion rate, but that didn't help.

My setup is as follows:

Hi lukejc,

Any user that uses a logging task must have write access to the VI Logger Database. The default database is located under C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\Tagger\database.  Most users won't have write access to this folder.  You need to enable write access to this folder for all users.  You can do this by right-clicking on the folder and select Sharing and Security, click on the Security tab, and select whichever group you're in (most likely the Users group), then check the Write permissions box in the Allow column.

With VI Logger Full, you can create a new databases where all users have read and write access. You do not have the ability to create/manage databases in VI Logger Lite, so you will need to upgrade to VI Logger Full if you wanted to use this solution. 

I hope this helps!
