cRIO 9047 DAQ Assistant Problems

[gkorn]

Hi everyone, I am a student in college trying to use LabView with the cRIO 9047 and eventually other modules to create an engine dynamometer for our team's senior design project. I am having trouble getting the DAQ assistant to work with my computer, as when I run the DAQ assistant, I get the following error:

I've tried to work around this error by creating tasks for the exact module, but I can't even create a task because when I go into NI MAX it shows me that there are no supported devices found.

I know it also says that I need to update some drivers, but when I've tried to look at different places and figure out what drivers I need to update, I just simply cannot find anything that tells me what update I need, and how to update the firmware correctly. 

If anyone has any good information on how to fix this issue, I would greatly appreciate it, as our senior design project relies on us being able to use LabView to get any values. If there is no way to fix this issue, and I just need to find another way to make this work, I would also love to be pointed in the right direction.

DAQ : NI cRIO 9047 with a NI 9237 Module attached

At the moment I am just trying to get a load cell to show me continuous data. 

Thanks!

The VI needs to run on the cRIO itself, not on the host PC.

Ditch DAQ Assistant and use shipping examples instead.

Thank you for you help! This made a lot of sense compared to what I've been finding!
