Legacy PCI-6711 AI error

[Fuqface]

HI,

 I have a PCI-6711 and I'm using LV 8.5.  In Measurement and Automation, the device is listed as a Legacy device, is listed as Device 1, and seems to pass the Test Panel.

I've created a very simple vi for taking a single Analog input value on channel 0 (attached).

When I run the vi it gives me this error...

----

Error -10403 occurred at AI Group Config
LabVIEW:  The specified device does not support the requested action (the driver recognizes the device, but the action is inappropriate for the device).

----

I'm not sure on how to get around this issue or what to try next.  Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi Fuqface,

It turns out that you are getting this error because the PCI-6711 is an analog output device and therefore does not have any analog input channels. I also wanted to mention that the 6711 does support DAQmx and the reason why Measurement and Automation Explorer might detect it only under Legacy device may be because you do not have DAQmx installed. Have you checked and see if it is also listed under DAQmx devices?

I hope this helps,

OK, yes we finally found out that the board has no Analog In channels. 

Case closed.

Thanks.
