Is my PCI 6071E board damaged?

[rivelsmaster]

Hello,

I have a PCI 6071E board that has been working succesfuly until yesterday. I was working with the digital I/O lines (to generate three control signals that were connected to three operational amplifiers, as buffers), and suddenly, from one trial to another, the board stopped working. Some digital I/O lines remain at 2 volts (with some oscillation), with no response to my user program (in MATLAB). Other lines were at 0 volts. I tried to operate with the analog input and output, but no response was given. After that, I run the test panel in the Measurement & Automation Explorer, but it shows the error message: "The device is not responding to the first IRQ level". Is my DAQ board completely damaged?

Thank you very much.

Greetings,

It does sound like your board may be in need of repair. There are a couple more troubleshooting activities I would suggest.

First, you should try installing the board in another computer and see if MAX gives you the same error. If this error is not present, you can then test the functionality of your board with the Online E Series Diagnostic Utility. Below is a link to this utility:

If these activites also indicate that your board is damaged, you can arrange for its repair by creating a phone support request at the following location:
