I have a USB-TC01 device, and whenever I try to use it on my Windows 8 tablet it gives the error -201168, with the "Possible reason" text being this: "Firmware for this device is too old. Upgrade the firmware for this device." I get this error both when using LabVIEW 2011 and while trying to run the Self-test within MAX. The device currently has firmware version 1.0.0f1, and I found a page (https://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/tc01/blog/2011/05/23/ni-usb-tc01-101-firmware-update-now-available) stating that there is a 1.0.1 version available, but conveniently the download link no longer works. This device worked just fine on my Windows 7 desktop in the office last week, but now as I'm in the field I cannot get it to work. I cannot remember what version of NI-DAQmx I'm running on my desktop, but my tablet has NI-DAQmx 14.5, and I noticed that the only versions of DAQmx listed are 9.1 through 9.9. I can't imagine that they've removed functionality from future versions, but nothing about this situation makes any sense to me. Any suggestions? Edit: It appears that DAQmx 14.5 still supports the TC01 after checking its hardware support list, so I don't know why the more recent editions aren't listed on the Driver Downloads page for the TC01. And that doesn't help my current situation, where I guess the newer versions of DAQmx require an unavailable firmware update to function with the TC01.

Hello Macraw83, Actually the firmware for the device was updated and DAQmx 14.5 and later version will look for this newer firmware. You can download the utily to update the firmware of your NI USB-TC01 from the next link: http://www.ni.com/download/ni-instantdaq-firmware-update-utility-1.2/5284/en/ Regards,

Solved!

Hi all,

Could some one check the above link to the upgrade utility? I have the op problem but the link does not work and search does not return anything useful either.

Thanks in advance
