PCI-MIO-16XE-50 -10401 Error ;-(

[Philco-Ford]

Hi, I am installing a 'supposedly' good (but used-)board into a 350MHz PII running XP Professional OS. Seems to install OK, but when I launch MAX 2.2/NI-DAQ 6.9.3 the resource section is greyed out although it does appear, and I get a -10401 error (failed test, do you wish to continue?).

When I first installed the board, MS wanted to install a 'PCI Bridge Device' rather than my PC-MIO-16XE-50, don't know if there might be some other bugs to patch or diagnostics to run, or if I should send the board in for check out?

Thanks,

NI-DAQ should be installed be fore the board.

Take the board out.
Get the PCI bridge ou of the config.
re-boot.
Install NI-MAX.
Re-boot.
Shutdown.
Install board.
Boot up.

Hmmm, Thanks Ben, but NI-DAQ was installed first, BTW- what's the difference between MAX and NI-DAQ?

Sorry, typed to fast.

NI-DAQ is the drivers for all of the hardware.

MAX gets installed at the same time (?) as NI-DAQ and allows you to configure the hardware. THis brings me to a question that I failed to ask.

Did you do a "Refresh" once you opened MAX?

Depending on how MAX is set-up it may not have been refreshed after the borad was installed.

Recently, my experience with getting NI hardware to show up has been pretty good.

If the above does not work, you may want to call NI because the board may be bad.
