Internal Software Error occurred in MIG software DAQmx

[Dixie]

Hi All, I have a very disturbing problem. Ever since upgrading to Labview 2011 and NIDAQ951f1 I get errors like the following in code that uses DAQmx:

Error -229771 occurred at DAQmx Create Channel (AO-Voltage-Basic).vi:1

Possible reason(s):
Internal Software Error occurred in MIG software. Please contact National Instruments Support.

The strangest thing is that this  happen only when I run the VI while a LV project is open! It does not matter wether the  VI is part of the project or not. As soon as I open any project (or create a new empty project) the error occurs when I run any DAQmx code. To test I am using one of the DAQmx example files: Cont Gen Voltage Wfm-Int Clk-On-Board Regeneration.vi for now, but the problem occurs with the other examples as well.

I tried to resolve the issue by removing all NI software and doing a clean install, but the problem persists. Needless to say I cannot do any development this way.

Any idea what's going on? Please advice.

Best regards,

Dixie

Hello Dixie,

There is a knowledge base topic treating this issue --> http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/03123D0E8A36C48E862577A4005B6BAA?OpenDocument

Have you already had a look at it?

The problem you have can also be somewhere network-related. As some networking feature are handled by the Project Explorer, this can explain why you encounter the issue only when it is open. I propose that you first check the knowledge base and then keep me updated. I will give you further info if that does not solve the issue.

Hi Cédric,

It looks like another re-install (this time making sure to "run as administrator") has solved it. Have not seen the bug since the re-install, but have not used the system extensively yet. Will reply to this topic if It comes back.
