PCI-6071 E cards

[skeltonmr]

Hello,

I have the PCI-6071E cards and with one of the cards I get the following error when I run the self-test:

"The device is not responding to the selected base address. Would you like to continue?".

If I click yes to continue, I get error message "-10800".

Please help.

Thanks,

Matt

I have the same DAQ card!  I am trying to learn more about it too.

Hello Guys,

The following knowledge base should be helpful for this error.

Please feel free to post any further questions.

I tried those ideas with no avail. Here is the situation that happened. I was collecting data in MED64 Performer software. I have 2 cards connected together for the 64 channel I/O. During an experiment, the lower channels began to respond erratically. I shut down the system, restarted and the board basically quit responding as described above.

Thanks,

Matt

Matt,

I'm sorry that non of those steps worked. At this point, I recommend downloading the DAQ Diagnostic Utility. It's a small download. Once you download it, run it and see what kind of results it will give you.

Please let me know about the results.

Regards,

Results saved to:  F:\Diagnostic Results2.txt

Selected Device: Dev2

Device Type: PCI-6071E

Serial Number: 1237207

Device Support: (PASS)

NI-DAQmx Version: 8.0 (PASS)

Device Reset: (PASS)

The device was last self-calibrated on: 10/17/2006 3:36:39 PM

Running Calibration ...   FAILED for the following reason: 

Error -200545 occurred at DAQmx Self Calibrate.vi

Possible reason(s):

Self-calibration failed.  The self-calibration date has not changed.

Disconnect the device from external signals, as they might introduce noise.  Externally calibrate the device to recalibrate the onboard voltage reference that is used for self-calibration.

It looks to me that your DAQ device is broke.

Please Contact NI for repair.
