pci-5105 and DAQmx Resource

[_Bryan]

Hello,

  I have a PCI-5105 and I am trying to use it with the NI-Scope examples, but I am having a problem with the resource name to the NI-Scope initialize.vi.  I can run the NI-Scope soft front panel (v2.8) program and see results.  But if I try to create a new SFP I get a message saying no digitizers are found in the system, yet it was just working?

  If I use the NI-Scope express vi there is no problem, it shows the card as Dev2(pci-5105).  But if I try to use the NI-Scop Initialize.vi I get an error saying "Insufficient location information or the device or resource is not present".  I have tried making a control out of the resource name, but when I click on the box to choose a resource nothing happens.  I tried to manually enter DAQ::2 like the help file says, but I just get the same error.

  I can see the 5105 card as Device2 in MAX, but I am not able to create global channels or tasks with the card.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the card, but no luck. 

  I am running LV 7.1.1 with NIdaq 8.6, Ni-scope soft front panel ver 2.8, and the NI-scope 3.4 drivers.

Any idea why I can't assign the card as a resource to the ni-scope initialize.vi?

Sorry wrong forum. Can this be moved to the LabVIEW forum? Thanks

From your description, it sounds like the device name is Dev2.  This is the name the Express VI got programatically from the driver.  It is curious that MAX tells you the name is Device2.  Note that you can change the name of the device in MAX, and then use this device name as the input for the NI-SCOPE Initialize function.

You can use the NI-ModInst API to query for installed devices and their properties.

If you have further problems, let us know by creating a new post in the NI-SCOPE forum.
