DAQmx Create Task Hangs in Infinite Loading

Updated Oct 9, 2025

Software

  • Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX)

Issue Details

I attempted to create a new DAQmx task (e.g., analog input) using NI MAX, but the task creation entered an infinite loading state and did not complete, even after waiting for over 5 minutes.
Existing tasks worked fine with LabVIEW and the Test Panel.
I tried resetting the NI MAX using Tools ยป Reset Configuration Data, but the issue persisted.

Solution

Reinstalling NI MAX can solve the issue.
As even though the issue may be related to corrupted configuration or installation files in NI MAX, resetting NI MAX configuration data alone may not resolve deeper corruption issues.
