Issue Details

When running my NI PXIe 43XX in Continuous of Finite Acquisition mode, I receive the following error:

Error -50152 occurred at daqmxcfg_DAQmx Start Task.vi4410001
Possible reason(s):
A hardware failure has occurred. The operation could not be completed as specified.

Solution

Reset NI MAX Configuration and test with a finite or continuous task in NI MAX.
- If you are using any custom scales or tasks create a back up of the NI MAX Configuration so they can be imported later.
Verify other cards (Not in the 43XX series) can perform continuous or finite acquisition. If they cannot, reinstall DAQmx
If the Chassis is operating via a MXIe connection to a host PC, try changing PCI/PCIe slots inside the computer
If it still does not behave correctly, Install the BIOS Compatibility software
- Before creating any changes in the BIOS or installing the BIOS Compatibility software, make a backup or restore point for your computer.

Additional Information

BIOS enumeration issues can lead to cards not functioning correctly in PXI Chassis.
