Issue Details

I have a PXIe device, such as a PXIe-6571, and when I try to click the Self-Calibrate button for my card in NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) I get the error -1074097145.
How do I solve this error?
 

Solution

One of the required host services has stopped. To check, on your host PC search for and open Services. Scroll down until you see NI PXI Chassis Management Service and NI PXI Resource Manager. Ensure both of these services are running. If not, right-click the service and select Start. To ensure the service starts automatically, right-click the service and go to Properties. In the General tab, there is a setting called Startup Options. Set this to Automatic.

If you receive any errors when trying to start the services, such as:
Error 1075: The Dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion.
then it is likely you have a corrupted driver. Follow the steps in Repair Software In NI Package Manager (NIPM) to repair your PXI Platform Services Driver. 
If the repair process errors then instead remove/uninstall the PXI driver. Once removed, install the driver fresh.
