PXI problem under DAQ 7

Application: analog output / NI 6711 board PXI or PCI
PXI system : MXI-3 link / Chassis 1000B

- System and vis worked fine under LV 6i PCI & PXI
- System upgraded from LV 6 to LV 7 Express/Daq 7.2
- Since then, failure on PXI system
- Same PCI system works with no error...

Is there a bug with the PXI devices in the Daq 7 ?

Hello ChristianG,
First I would recommend testing NI-DAQ 7.3 which has recently become available. If that does not work, try uninstalling NI-DAQ and re-installing an older version such as 7.1 or 7.0.

If that works, you might try saving the nidaq*.inf files, uninstalling your hardware, installing a newer version of NI-DAQ, overwriting the nidaq*.inf files with the saved ones, then reinstalling your hardware.
Does that work (please let us know)?

Your question about why this works with PCI but not PXI most likely has to do with latency added by the MXI-3 bridge (thus you observe timeouts and FIFO underflows). Slow down the rate and it will probably work. I also anticipate that you would not experience this issue if you were to use an embedded controlle
r.

I hope this information helps you to make some forward progress on this issue.

Sincerely,
