LabVIEW with SCXI-1001 chassis, SCXI-1600 usb module, and SCXI-1100 module with SCXI 1300 terminal block

Hello community,

I am looking to interface with a SCXI-1001 chassis, SCXI-1600 usb module, and SCXI-1100 module with SCXI 1300 terminal block. I configured my system as detailed below in "System Information." When I powered everything up, I was able to detect my 1600 and my 1100 modules through NI MAX, but I was unable to perform a simple test as seen in the attached screenshot. The result was error status code: -200073. I tried looking into it, and I was unsuccessful finding anything that helped me right away. 

My goal for the project is to attach a few sensors and display data through LabVIEW. I've made everything else, but this little interfacing issue is holding me up. Is it possible to communicate through the USB of the SCXI-1600 with the SCXI-1100 module with a 1300 terminal block mounted in the SCXI-1001 chassis? I've attached an image showing my configuration with the 1300 terminal block removed from the 1100 module; of course, I connect these when I'm attempting to use NI MAX or LabVIEW. 

I discovered early on that I would run into problems with 64 bit Windows 7, so I prepared a 32 bit Windows 7 system for this project.

System Information

Computer

• Windows 7 32 bit
• LabVIEW 2015
• NI-DAQmx 15.0

Devices

• SCXI-1001 chassis
• SCXI-1600 usb digitizer module in slot 1 (usb connect to computer)
• SCXI-1100 32 channel multiplexer amplifier in slot 2
• SCXI-1300 terminal block attached to SCXI-100 module

Any assistance or advice is greatly appreciated! This is my first time trying to use an SCXI platform. I originally wanted to simply use a USB cDAQ system, but then I found out our group just happened to have an SCXI platform from a few years ago that was never used. 

All the best,

Hello,

There are a few things that could be causing this error. The main being that the hardware configurations for that module (1100) changed and not necessarily changed accordingly in MAX. The second, it could be a setting for the chassis that is causing the error, like the following KnowledgeBase article explains:

You could try the following troubleshooting steps.

1. Delete the module from MAX, even the chassis.

2. Turn off the chassis and unplug from system. 

3. Try putting the SCXI-1100 in a different slot. 

4. Connect the chassis again and power it

5. Refresh or restart MAX. 

6. Configure the Chassis and module by right clicking the chassis in MAX and selecting the properties option. You have to make sure that you select the correct slot and settings for the SCXI 1100. 

The following KnowledgeBase has some really good troubleshooting steps as well.

I hope that this helps!
