I have a PCI-6601 card connected over PCI. I've been battling trying to get it to work with some C# code for days now. I know I have the DaqMx drivers installed, along with NI Max, Labview and what else. However despite that, whenever trying to connect I get a DaqMx exception.
I've tried reconfiguring the database in NI MAX, and other common debugging methods. Part of me is now just wondering if I have defunct hardware.
When I see my PCI-6601 in the devices list in NI Max, there is no name and no ability to edit the name.
Comparing to what I see here: https://www.ni.com/getting-started/set-up-hardware/data-acquisition/pci-pxi it seems like I do not have the same control.
Its a single pane, with a blank uneditable name field. Is this normal operation for this card?
Is there anything I can do? I have all the drivers as well I believe.
