Error -10609 from AI Clock Config within AI Start suddenly appears after > 2 years

[anant0716]

I have been successfully running a DAQ AI/AO program for several years, and now I am inexplicably receiving error -10609 from AI Clock Config within AI Start.  The only thing that has changed with the computer is the installation of a GPIB card.  But the error wasn't occurring immediately after the card was installed several months ago, only since I began extensively using the GPIB card several days ago.

I am using DAQ card PCI-MIO-16E-1 (PCI-6070E).

Could the GPIB card be causing this???  Please help!

Hi anant0716,

The -10609 error refers to a function calling a resource that is already in use. You can find a out more about the error in this article. If you could answer the following questions, it would help troubleshoot this issue.

Are the GPIB calls are in the same program as the DAQ functions or if they are in separate programs running at the same time?
Does your code have any other acquisition before it calls the function that errors?
What version of NI-DAQ do you have installed?

If possible, I was wondering if you could test the DAQ program by itself again without the GPIB portion of the code to see if the error can be reproduced without the GPIB portion of the code.
