error 1003 when arming 6602 counter for retriggerable pulse generation

[Dan771]

Hi,

I'm trying to configure a 6602 card to count ticks from the timebase, and then deposit a reading to an array when triggered by an external input.

To do this, I've set up counter 1 to be a re-triggerable pulse generator; the pulse from this counter will act as the trigger to take a reading from the main counter.

The problem I'm having is that the counter won't arm, it gives 'error 10003'. I have compressed the problem to a smaller VI, attatched. Any help at all would be much appreciated.

Note - I am using LabView version 6.0

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan,

What version of the NI-DAQ driver are you using? Have you tries updating to the latest version of the driver? The latest version of the driver that is compatible with LabVIEW 6 is NI-DAQ 7.1 as is shown in this link.

Hi,

Currently I'm using 6.8, I'll try updating now and report back.

Hi,

I tried to upgrade the drivers, but the version of windows is too old (needs service pack 6 or later).

I'm not in a position to modify the PC very much, if possible I need to avoid changing it at all.

Is it possible that the drivers aren't the issue, that theres something wrong with my code?

Thanks again,

Dan
