Analog output with PCI-6229 card - getting an error

[Tar]

I am trying to output 0-5V with a PCI-6229 card. I am using LabVIEW 7.0.

For the VI, I am using the "AO Update Channel.vi" with a numeric control on the "value" terminal and constants for the "device" and "channel" terminals. The channel is "ao2" on the PCI-6229 card (which is my device 2). When I try to run the VI, I get the following error:

"Error - 10401 occurred at AO Group Config

Possible reason(s):

NI-DAQ LV: The specified device is not a National Instruments product, the driver does not support the device (for example, the driver was released before the device was supported), or the device has not been configured using the Measurement & Automation Explorer."

The device seems to be installed and working properly. I can use the test panel and update channel "ao2" to 0-5V manually (I have checked the output with a multimeter and it does update properly).

Why am I getting this error when I try to update the channel through LabVIEW?

Thanks!

The PCI-6229 works with DaqMX only, not traditional Daq.

my guess is you picked an example vi that uses traditional Nidaq funtionality, that will not work with the 6229.
Pick an example from LabView that uses DaqMx like Gen voltage update.vi
