USB-TC01 gives error -201165 "firmware for this device is too new"

[yafoteer]

Not sure where else to post this, but the USB-TC01 uses DAQmx, so maybe somebody recognizes this.

I plug it in to the USB and it enumerates fine.  It runs the canned application just fine.

But when I try to take data under DAQmx 9.1.5 I get that curious mesage, along with the advice "Downgrade the firmware for this device"  I don't want to do that.

EDIT:  I see that the firmware on the device is 1.1.0f 1

The specs on the USB-TC01 do not say which version of DAQmx is needed, although 9.1.1 supports the device.

I have tried this on XP and Win7 with the same result.

TIA

Why such an ancient version of DAQmx? Have you tried the latest?

[yafoteer · Accepted solution]

I suppose "ancient" is relative.  Budget and history have me at LV9 and I have to stay back on the DAQmx version.  But NI has finally caught me in its web and it is time for an upgrade.  A trial version of newer LV and DAQmx 9.9 solved it, of course.  I just wish the error message had been less bizarre.  At least it's here so somebody else can find an answer, no matter how obvious.

The latest version of DAQmx that LabVIEW 2009 can use is 9.7 - http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/B0D5630C0A50D5C6862578E800459248

Did you try that?

[yafoteer]

Yep same error. Happens under MAX so not a LV issue. Surprised to see no other posts about this. I can't be the only ancient dinosaur out here.

I am also receiving this error (within NI Max) even after updating to DAQmx 14.2.  Does anyone else have experience fixing this issue?

wbren,

Are you also using a USB-TC01? And what are your versions of LabVIEW, DAQmx, NI MAX, and the firmware on your device?

[wbren]

Yes, I am also using the USB-TC01.

Firmware: 1.1.? (I remember seeing before, but it isn't showing up in MAX now that I have updated the driver)

Driver Version: 14.2.0f1

MAX: 14.0.0f0

Labview: 13.0.0

I have also tried on another PC with older drivers/MAX with the same result.

Driver: 9.7.5f1

MAX: 5.6.0f0

Labview: 13.0.0

Hi wbren,

After some research, I found that there were issues with this device's firmware installer a while back, the new updated installer is here: http://www.ni.com/download/ni-instantdaq-firmware-update-utility-1.2/5284/en/

It may also be worth while downloading the latest DAQ driver version 14.5 which supports LabVIEW 2013 and your USB TC01 found here: http://www.ni.com/download/ni-daqmx-14.5/5212/en/

I know this thread might be a bit old, but I'd just like to point out, that it might be a good idea to add a link to this software on the TC-01's support page, which was logically the first place I went for this. Note I experienced the same problems with daqmx 14.5, thankfully the firmware update fixed everything.
