Labview Code not recognizing replacement USB-6363 unit

[BHelang]

Hi,

I would like some advice on getting an USB-6363 DAQ to work with my Labview code. 

Background: I have an existing Labview code that worked beautifully with a USB-6363 unit. I replaced this unit with the exact same DAQ USB-6363 unit and my code will not work. The error given by the code is that the DAQ unit is not there. I can see both DAQ units (old and new) on NI MAX. The old one has a cross on it as it is no longer connected to the computer. I attempted to re-name the new DAQ with the name of the old DAQ (doing this caused the software to give a new name to the old DAQ). However, Labview still won't recognize the new DAQ and keeps trying to look for the old DAQ (with the new name).

Any help with how to get my code to work with the new DAQ unit will be appreciated.

Thank you.

After renaming the DAQ, try rebooting the computer.

Hi,

I tried that but Labview errors out. Errror message states:

Device Specified: MI01_1

Suggested Device: MI01

MI01-1 is the name of the old DAQ

MI01 is the name of the new DAQ.

How can I specify to Labview that MI01 as the active DAQ?

Thank you.
