Hello, I've been writing programs to send analog and digital outputs to 6008 and 6525 DAQs for a couple years. I've never had any problem with the devices. I just built some new equipment, and I used Windows 7 as opposed to Vista/XP. Everything appeared to have operated correctly with LabVIEW 8.5 and NIDAQmx 8.9.x. The program runs smoothly and I can receive analog input from the 6008 without a problem.
However, I tried used DAQ assistant to generate output for both of the devices. I add the lines I want but when the DAQ assist opens, it is blank (i.e. I can't the types of signals, voltage, etc). I thought the problem might have been the driver so I downloaded 9.0.2 and that didn't help. I can send signals via MAX without a problem, and the end equipment receives the signal.
So in summary, input is fine and I can do what I want from MAX, but I can't operate the equipment through the DAQ assist.
Am I missing a driver for output? Is Windows 7 the culprit? Thanks for your help!

I found another similar post about this problem. Apparently, pressing the help button in the top right corner resets the graphics, and one can then edit the DAQ assistant.
