Issue Details

I am facing an issue when using NI 4303 card with VeriStand 2021. The requirement is using Hardware Time Single Point Acquisition (HWTSP) mode, and according to the article DAQ Devices with Hardware-Timed Single Point Sampling Mode Support, NI 43xx cards are supported while Waveform Mode of acquisition is working fine.

Is there any workaround for us to use NI 4303 cards in HWTSP mode without error 50258 occurs as below?

Solution

This Error 50258 is also seen in later version of VeriStand and DAQmx. A few workarounds to resolve the issue, 
  • Reinstall the NI Scan Engine and NI RIO IO Scan, then run the VeriStand project again.
  • Other workaround is that by Disabling AI support of 4303. It won't impact the acquisition since when disabled AI support is checked, it takes software timing to acquire AI instead of DAQ timing. 
  • If the error does not disappear after the reinstallation, there is a known bug that is related to the DAQmx Create Timing Source that might related to this error. Try to upgrade to DAQmx 2024 Q1.
