Issue Details

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

1. 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.
2. If the Chassis is operating via a MXIe connection to a host PC, 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.
   • 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.
3. Try changing PCI/PCIe slots inside the computer.
4. Verify other cards (Not in the 43XX series) can perform continuous or finite acquisition. If they cannot, reinstall DAQmx.
