How do I unreserve a DAQmx resource?

[10Things_Rob]

I am trying to use a Simulated AO Task.

It seems like I was able to sometimes get it to work, but now I can't even start a task. I get this:

Error -50103 occurred at PowerControl_DAQLoop - AOWrite.vi

Possible reason(s):

NI Platform Services: The specified resource is reserved. The operation could not be completed as specified.

Task Name: SimBufferedAO

Um... OK. So how does one go about "unreserving it"?

Update: Closing LabVIEW worked.

Any idea what causes this condition? Anyone seen this before? Or know a better way to clear it?

Are you stopping and clearing the DAQmx Task?

[10Things_Rob]

I don't want to clear it because I want to restart it later during the execution. So no, I am not clearing it.

Also, my understanding is that clearing the task is what you do when you've created teh task from scratch, and in this case I am using a task that is pre-defined for me in MAX.

Is this incorrect?

You are going to have to supply some code so I can figure out your situation.  Otherwise I will just be grasping at straws.
