Problems to set up PCI-1407 on a Single Board Computer

I am trying to set up a PCI-1407 device (s/n D7a041) Rev. E in SBC (Single Board Computer) NOVA-7896R Rev. 2.2 made by ICP Electronics Inc.. I use the driver NI-Imaq 2.5.1 and the MAX 2. I don't get to display images from a B/N CCD camera. The Basic Image Digitizer Test fails when I run the MAX Diagnostic test on my PCI-1407 device.

In view of all this I have tried with another PCI-1407 (s/n BA2F18) and now the MAX Diagnostic test is OK, but when I try to display the images, the MAX give me the error " can´t lock on video source". Of course the camera and the connection are OK.

I have also tried with the drivers 2.2.1, 2.6 and MAX 3 ,in all these cases, I had the same errors.

Has somebody
had a similar problem?

Thank you in advance for your help

A Board fails the diagnostic when it is not seated all the way in the PCI slot. Otherwise you might want to call technical support because it could be a bad board. The error "can't lock on video source" a lot of times happens when the camera loses power briefly. You may want to check the power supply for the camera. Here is a knowledgeBase of other troubleshooting techniques that you can try.

You also might want to try to install the board on another computer to see if that works (possibly a desktop computer).
