Solution
There are a few things that could be the issue when this message appears:
- First, ensure that your DAQmx driver is properly installed by trying to perform simple input or output tests with another device.
- Second, if the driver is working, try the card in a different slot in your chassis. Make sure that no external cables are connected to the card during the self-calibration.
- Third, if you have Windows 7 or earlier, download the DAQ Diagnostic Utility and perform a test on your device. Ensure everything has passed.
- Finally, reset the MAX Configuration Database and reset the device. Once the computer reboots, try the calibration again.
If none of this works, call or email NI support, and they can provide additional troubleshooting steps or setup an RMA process for the device.
