Frame grabber board (pci 1405) worked before installing data acquisition board (pci 6040e) but fails to do so now

In the measurement and automation explorer i get the following message: "error code passed onto imgShow error is not known" and the error is 0xFFFF3C4B. Anyone has any ideas? Thanks

experiment_juggler,

There shouldn't be an issue using both of these cards on the same PC. Maybe you can describe in detail what you do to get this error -- i.e. when does the error occur? Do both cards show up in MAX? What version of the drivers have you installed?

Michelle - thanks for your reply. 
I actually took both boards out and reinstalled them and finally they work just fine.  In case this can be of use to anyone else, I got the same error in two ways, either when running a labview program which acquired images from the framegrabber, or when opening the measurement and automation explorer and clicking on devices and interfaces.  As you said both boards should be compatible, so I tried again and reinstalling worked for me.

Excellent! Glad to hear this. 🙂

Hi:

I have a question. Can PCI 1405 be controlled by Labview 8? I am thinking of using the PCI1405 trig port to control a CCD external sync port

Hi njjz2007,

Yes, you can use this card in LabVIEW 8.0. Just be sure to have your NI-IMAQ driver installed. The latest version of the driver supports LabVIEW 8.0.

Hope this helps!

Thank you, I'll try it first. So long time not here

I have a question.

Since I need to connect the cable from CCD to PCI1405 card, which cable is better to use 50ohm or 75ohm? I couldn't find the specific information from the data sheet.

thanks,

Hey JasonJiang2006

The BNC cable (183882-02) recommended on the product page for the PCI 1405 is 75 Ohm, so I would recommend the same in your application.
