Invalid Resource Name Error from the NI

[pwalake]

Hi team,

I am trying to connect my system with the NI PXI 8331 MXI-4 . I have developed an application in C Language using the NI Drivers that accesses/communicates to the NI box. But at the initialization phase I get this "Invalid Resource Name" Error. Hence, I am not able to move further.

Does this error mean that I have been connected to NI box and It is to do with some minor errors?

Or Does it mean that I am still not able to communicate with the card ?

If so, what are the necessary drivers I need to install or make it work.

Thank you.

Hi pwalake,

The alias for MXI-4 Connection Monitor indicates a corrupt or missing driver. Try uninstalling/reinsalling VISA. If that doesn't work, do the same with PXI Platform Services.

The latest versions are here:

NI-VISA 14.0.1
PXI Platform Services 14.1
