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 backup of the NI MAX Configuration so they can be imported later.
• Change the card to a different slot in the PXI chassis.
• If the Chassis is operating via a MXIe connection to a host PC, it is recommended to test the module on a PXI system that does not include MXI connections. If you have a different chassis that you can use, try plugging the module into a different chassis and check if the issue persists. If it does, contact NI Support.
  • If you cannot test on a non-MXI system, then make sure that you have installed the MXI-Express 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.
  • Before or after installing the BIOS Compatibility Software, set the DIP switch 1 of your MXI Card to the ON position. Do not set any other switch to the ON position.
  • Try changing PCI/PCIe slots inside the computer.
  • If using a Thunderbolt MXIe Expansion, try the steps outlined in the following Knowledgebase article: Driver Verifier DMA Violation Blue Screen With MXIe or Thunderbolt Modules.
• Verify other cards in the system can perform continuous or finite acquisition. If they cannot, reinstall their drivers. 
• If you have another module of the same model that you can use, test it on the same slot of the module that shows the error.
• If the issue continues, please contact NI Support.
