Issue Details

My data is not correct or the channels are swapping on my USB DAQ.

Solution

Troubleshooting Steps:

Consult Microsoft's support channels to see if they have a hotfix available.
Change the USB mode for your device.
NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) database corruption could be causing the error. Reset the MAX database.

Additional Information

There is a known issue with Microsoft's Enhanced Host Controller driver for Windows XP caused either by conflicting USB devices, or by a USB device that is in bulk transfer mode. This can corrupt the data transferred over the USB port.
