MAX self-test not available for 9237

Solved!
Go to solution

I had been successfully using a VB.NET program to control the ENET-9237 to read a load cell.

I have been using DAQmx 9.4 drivers. 

Things were working fine for months....

 

Today when I tried to use it, I could not communicate with the device.  When I looked in MAX and ran the self-test I got an error indicating the device was not active.

 

I deleted the network device and added it again.  It adds just fine and I can see system status is up, but now the self-test button is greyed out.  I still cannot use my software to connect to the device.  So the ethenet part seems OK, but I cannot get access to the actual load cell module.

 

Does this indicate a hardware failure of the 9237 module?  Or is there still something in software I should try?

Turns out it was a software problem.  I moved the hardware to a different computer and self-test worked fine.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the DAQmx v9.4 drivers on the computer with an issue.

Now everything works just as it should.

Not sure what went wrong with the original install...
