I have problem reading DAQ with NI cRio 9039 controller

[Mdsalem]

I am using NI cRio 9039 controller in order to read some data from analogue-in NI9234 DAQ.

Unfortunately, I cannot see the NI 9234 on my LabVIEW software. I am using 2017 version, when I use NI max I can monitor the NI cRio 9039 controller only without the installed NI 9234 DAQ, I tried to change the DAQ location in the controller to another port or using another type of DAQ (such as NI 9234), but still unable to monitor the DAQ with LabVIEW despite that LabVIEW software has all the required drivers. it looks like controller is not able to read the DAQ ( only the power led is on, nothing else of the led indicators).

Hey there,

Be sure you have the same version of all the drivers installed, in the following order:
- DAQmx 17.0
- LabVIEW 2017
- LabVIEW Realtime 2017
- NI Compact RIO 2017
- LabVIEW FPGA 2017

Verify that the controller has the correct IP settings and that it says “Connected Running” in MAX. If not, you will want to review the manual (linked below). Page 4 goes over IP configuration.

You can also format the controller and reinstall the software to it in MAX. To do this, right click the cRIO controller and select Format. You will not be able to see the NI-9234 in MAX with your cRIO- you need to add it to your LabVIEW project by right clicking on your project in the project explorer and clicking “add targets and devices”.

Expand “Real-Time CompactRIO”, and your controller should be listed. It will then search for your NI modules. If it’s not detected after verifying that all the drivers are installed properly, the module may have a hardware problem.
