CVI7.1 and PCI-MIO-16XE-10 DAQ installation problem

[howdy]

Hello everyone,

I got a very frustrated problem for my CVI7.1 and traditional DAQ card. I have a brand new computer with windowsXP os. I try to install CVI7.1 and PCI-MIO-16XE-10 traditional DAQ card in it. I first install CVI7.1 and NI driver in the computer. After all the installation is completed, I restart the computer. Then computer found new hardware devices. Following the procedure, I installed the driver for DAQ card. The computer then recognized the PCI-MIO-16XE-10 DAQ card and told me the hardware is ready to use. When I run MAX, I can see PCI-MIO-16XE-10 in the traditional DAQ directory. However, the "test panel" button is grey. Thus I can not access the DAQ card. When I run DAQ related program, the program told me wrong DAQ card or wrong configuration. I thought the driver (DAQ7.3) is not correct. I downloaded 7.4. But the same problem happens. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Is there any specific installation procedure to install CVI and DAQ card? Thanks for your input.

Installing relevant device Drivers should show your Device on MAX.

First install CVI and relevant hardware, swithch off system and then insert your card to the availible PCI slot. When you switch on your system, MAX should automatically detect your card in relevant Devices folder

Since this card is supported by both versions, see if reinstalling the latest supported version of Traditional DAQ drivers or DAQmx Drivers will do the job

( Note: you can install both versions but take care that you do not use/call both versions for same device in an application program )

Hello Howdy,

Does the name on MAX match the name of your card? What about device manager?
If the test panels are gray out means they are not supported which should not be the case for your card.
Devchander is right, DAQmx is compatible with the card and I suggest you use those call in CVI.

Hope this helps,
