Hello all,
I have a brand new NI USB-6501, and I'm looking for some help with operation. I am running OS X 10.11.1, LabVIEW 2013 SP 1, NI-VISA 15.0, and NI-DAQmx Base 15.0.0. I set up and plugged in my module and get a steady blinking green light. I ran NI MAX, found the module and renamed it "Motor_Module". I then went to my DAQmx Base Examples and found the USB-6501 Interactive Control.llb and ran the interactive control VI that is contained in that library.
The first thing I tried was simply running the VI. I got Error -200220, Device identifier is invalid. I changed Device Name to "Motor_Module" and ran the VI again. This time, I got Error -200558, One task cannot contain multiple independent devices. Create one task for each independent device.
And this is where I stand. My end goal is to have this module output an open-collector type signal at +5 V. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
