Error -200329 using DAQmx Start Task on PCI-6052E

[cvo]

Hi,

I am experiencing problems trying to read out analog voltages with my PCI-6052E/BNC-2090 combination.

No matter which VI I use, I always get

-----------------

Error -200329 occurred at DAQmx Start Task.vi

Possible reason(s):

An error has occurred while attempting to configure the device for an analog input acquisition.

If an external master timebase is being used, make sure the source is connected and generating an appropriate clock. Otherwise, contact National Instruments Technical Support.

Task Name: _unnamedTask<2>

-----------------

I am not using an external timebase. This error occurs when I use my own VIs (which have worked on the same computer with the same hardware before) as well as if I use some of NI's sample VIs or the test panel in MAX.

The board is properly connected and the digital output pins work if I adress them using the test panel in MAX. Could it be something like a dead internal clock or any a such? But the problem also occurs if I try to use an external sampling clock.

Is the problem rather to be found in the hardware or might I experience some software (maybe driver etc.) problem? I think nothing should have changed since I used the analog data acquisition the last time (some months ago).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris

Chris,

Thanks for posting to the forums.  Unfortunately it sounds like there is an issue with the card.  You could try to use the card in another computer but I suspect that the card is the culprit.  We can't really handle repair requests through the forums.  Could you create either a email or phone support request through the web and we can get you the information about getting the board repaired.  You can make this request at http://www.ni.com/support.  Let me know if you have any questions.
