Usb - 6009 Device Recongition Problems

[Kyle W]

Hi,

I just got a USB-6009 DAQ. I have labview 7.0, drivers software and the supplied software installed with no problems. In the measurment nad automation explorer (MAX) the device is recongnised and declared problem free. I tried to test the device in labview using help tutorials which suggests the DAQ assitant block. After selecting Analogue input and then voltage I am told that no device is detected i.e. Where I should be selecting my terminal(s) I am not giving any options.

If anyone has had the same problems or know how to fix them I would be thankful of your help.

Kyle

Hi Kyle,

The USB-6009 device works on DAQmx base. This is a restricted version of NI-DAQmx which is used on some of our products. Unfortunetly it is incompatible with DAQmx and the DAQ Assistant uses DAQmx. Therefore you can't use the UDB-6009 with the DAQ Assistant.

To use the device, load up the USB-600x Interactive Control which should be located in the following directory.

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.0\examples\daqmxbase

Take a look at this and figure out how the code works. If you want to configure it to do your own specific functions then I would suggest that you use this program as a base and customise it for your purposes.

Best regards,

Is it possible to get a full version of NI-DAQmx or must this be purchased extra?

You can download DAQmxBase V1.4 here.
Only DAQmxBase is compatible with USB-6009
NIDAQmxBase14f2.zip

As for NI-DAQ Version 7.4 for Windows 2000/NT/XP
NIDAQ740CD1.zip
NIDAQ740CD2.zip

I just posted a similar message regarding a USB6008 card when I found this thread.

Am I to understand correctly that existing VIs that we may have that were written with DAQmx will not work with the USB6008 or USB6009 cards?

DAQmx Base is described as a subset of DAQmx, so I assumed that if I already had DAQmx installed from other cards, that I would be able to use the USB6008 card without any trouble.

P.S. Oddly enough the original Kyle W. and I are not one and the same person.

[zenith]

Only DAQmx-Base VIs could be used with USB-6008/6009.
If you want to use your DAQmx VIs with USB DAQ devicea, you can only choose 6015/6016 - more powerful and expensive ones.

I am having the same issue with the 6008. I have tried to use the examples as provided, but even then when i try to specify the physical channel the dialogue box shows a blank. Shouldn't it recognize my DAQ?

HELP! this is for a senior design project (final project for college)

[zenith]

Did you try NI-DAQmx Base Configuration Utility?
Th utility should be located here:
"C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQmx Base\apps\daqmxbaseconfig.exe"

[Kyle W]

When using the sample programs, instead of 'browsing' for the channels simply type them in manually i.e 'dev1/ai0' this is what i ended up doing and it worked fine. I don't know how to start a program from scratch but I'm already building my project using the examples as a base.

have you try to create a task with the daqmx base configuration utility?.
You have to create a task with this program.
And under labview you have to open a task with the same name that you have create before. Just typing the name
not try to browse it.

One question.
When you connecto your Usb card to your pc, how is the led? Flashing or always on?
