I am using an application written against the DAQmx C library. This application is unable to create digital output channels, as calls to the DAQmxCreateDOChan function hang. It does not crash, it just does nothing.
In trying to diagnose this issue, I try to do the same thing using NI MAX using a test panel. In the digital I/O tab, I press start, and am unable to press stop, or change any of the channel values. All of the other tabs work fine. When I press the stop button, nothing happens, like I am just pressing a button on a static image. When i close out of the test panel window, the process remains in task manager.
Because the problem persists even when using NI MAX, the problem is most probably the application.
This behaviour continues when using a simulated DAQ as well as the actual hardware device. I have reinstalled the DAQmx driver, which did not seem to help.
Device details:
PXI-6229
Windows 7 32 bit
Thanks!
