AO channel conflict on PCI-6052E

[Ams]

Hi,

I get an error when I try to use AO0 and AO1 simultaneoulsy to output two separate  DC waveforms .

The error is : NI Platform Services:  The specified resource is reserved. The operation could not be completed as specified.
=========================
The specified resource is reserved. The operation could not be completed as specified.

Error -50103 occurred at DAQmx Write (Analog 1D Wfm NChan NSamp).vi:2

Which resource is being shared and how can I get around this ? I guess the whole point of having 2 AO's should to be able to use it.

Thanks

Ams

Did you do a search for that error code?

It does seem that way, doesn't it?

Hi Alfredo,

Thanks for posting to the NI Forums!

You are most likely receiving this error because you do not have your AO channels in the same task. There is only one clock for AO, so your 2 channels will need to be in the same task so that they can both access the same clock, otherwise this error will occur.

Hope this helps!

Hi there,

I had the same problem and the solution was simple, I didn't dispose my old task before starting a new one...When I did dispose all problems were gone...

good luck!
