I have installed everything per the instructions, and can talk to the USB-6009 using the Measurement & Automation Explorer. However, when I try to use the Instrument I/O Assistant in LabVIEW, I get an error dialog telling me that Measureent & Automation Explorer or the Instrument I/O Assistant is not installed correctly.
I looked again at the installation program and didn’t see anything missing. I looked for related options in the LabVIEW settings and didn’t see anything.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas to fix it?
Hello Jim,
First, you probably want to be using the DAQ Assistant rather than the Instrument I/O Assistant to communicate with your USB-6009. The Instrument I/O Assistant is designed to work with GPIB/Serial and most other devices with which you would use NI-VISA to communicate. The DAQ Assistant will help you get started in communicating with NI-DAQmx devices, of which the USB-6009 is.
Ultimately, if you do desire to use the Instrument I/O Assistant to communicate with other devices, then I recommend that you uninstall and re-install the Instrument I/O Assistant from the Device Driver CD. It is possible there was a corruption on the initial installation.
I hope this helps. Please post again if this resolves your questions or if this resolves the behavior for you.
