DAQmx Error: The specified file could not be opened...Status Code: -50204...

Dear All,

I am using the PCI-6024E Daq-Card. When i tried to run one of the examples in C/C++ (Continuous Analog Voltage Input using internal clock), the following error message was created at the command window:


DAQmx Error: The specified file could not be opened. The operation could not be completed.
Task Name: _unnamedTask<0>

Status Code: -50204


Does anyone know about this problem?

Hi ckary,

Thanks for your post. It looks as if your computer is not seeing the driver calls and thus it gives the error saying it cannot complete that task. Does this happen with any other example programs you run using DAQmx? What version of DAQmx do you have? I would first recommend getting the latest DAQmx driver version, 8.7.1. You can find this at the following link below.

Drivers and Updates

Please post back if installing the latest driver does not fix the problem.
