Does NI DAQ6014 need initialization after everytime execute a task?

[1170]

I am using the NI DAQ 6014 and labwindow/CVI as develop software, my question is do I need to initial it after everytime I execute an application? if so How can I initial it in labwindows/CVI? thank you very much

Greetings,

If you are referring to the initialization of the entire device with the Init_DA_Brds() function, the answer is no. You are not required to do this every time you execute an application. On the other hand, if you are referring to the initialization of a particular function (analog input, analog output, etc.), some form of initialization is required. My suggestion is that you examine the CVI examples installed in a location similar to the following:

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudio\CVI\samples\daq

Note: Even through the NI 6014 is not an E Series device, most of the E Series examples found in the above location will work with it.

Good luck with your application.
