"2597/6x1 Terminated Mux" fails to initialize

[TheKackler]

I am using the 1x6 terminated RF Switch 'NI-PXI 2597' in the 1045 chassis.

The 2597 fails to initialize (niSwitch Initialize With Topology.vi) with the following error:

niSwitch Initialize With Topology.vi

No legacy device supports the specified topology.  Use a different topology, or configure the device under DAQmx and use the DAQmx resource descriptor.

Status Code: -1074118644

My other switches (2596, 2599, 2598) initialize without issue.

I can set the switches via 'switchsoft front panel' in MAX. The LabVIEW .vi aren't working.

vi's are located at: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2\instr.lib\niSwitch\niSwitch.LLB\{vi's}

Hello,

You may have your VISA resource name conflicting with the DAQmx resource name. I would recommend looking at this KnowledgeBase article, which describes the problem you are seeing and two possible solutions. 

This article also describes what can happen with conflicting resource names.
