ni usb 6210 not "accessible"

[tony7a]

Hi,

I am trying to connect and have accesible through LabView 2016 NI USB 6210 device. I am running Labview 2016 tral version, win 7 home edition premium 64 bit system. I can see the device through NI- DAQ 16 , i can do self tests and what not but at the Instruments VI in Block diagram , I do not see this particular device. When I try to connect the device, through Tools /Instrumentation/Find Instrument drivers, I see only an an unidentifiable device. How do I make labview to list the device VIs so that I can have access to the ports? Am I missing something?

It has been a long time since ia have used Labview last (6 years+). My previous experience was with USB-6525 device. I was thinking that the above two mentioned devices have similar operation and access , am I correct?

Hello tony7a,

What was installation order of LabVIEW and DAQmx drivers? We always recommend to install LabVIEW first and then drivers: https://www.ni.com/en/support/downloads/drivers/download.ni-daq-mx.html#288254. A reinstallation of the drivers could fix the issue.

If you se the device in NI-MAX you should be able to use it in LabVIEW. I recommend you to use DAQ Assistant as a starting point to check if the device/ports are available: https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA03q000000x1AFCAY&l=en-US

Then you can use the DAQmx Palette to create more versatile code: https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/06/learn-10-functions-in-ni-daqmx-and-handl...
