Hello
tlk20,
Usually this error has to do with what you have wired to the "channel" input parameter of AI Config.
Here is a KnowledgeBase (KB) article that has a few troubleshooting steps that you can try out. KnowledgeBase articles are a great resource that you can search for from the National Instruments website. You can search the knowledgebase articles for an error code such as "-10001" and you will be able to find articles that have potential solutions. You can search for KBs from the main www.ni.com website or click on support >> KnowledgeBase from the main site.
Hope that helps.
