Issue Details

When I try to run an executable that I had built in LabVIEW, where I tried to use DAQmx to generate a sample clock in the DO module and use an external sampling clock in the AI module to acquire waveforms, I got the following error:

Error -200436 occurred at DAQmx Start Task.vi

Possible reason(s):

Start trigger delay is not available when an external sample clock source is specified.

Change the sample clock to onboard clock, or do not configure the start trigger delay. 


The error is shown in the following dialog box.

Solution

The error is related to the NI-DAQmx driver installed in the PC used to run the VI. It is advised for you to upgrade your NI-DAQmx driver version that is compatible to your LabVIEW software.
