Self-test failed - PCI6034E board

[wave_monitor]

Hi,

I am trying to get data acquisition going on an old Dell 8200 computer.

I am running a 2013 version of NI MAX on Win XP SP3, with a PCI6034E board. The installed drivers are recent.
I get the following errors:

Self-Test gives: "The self-test failed -200020"

Self-Calibrate gives: "The device could not be calibrated -200251. No DMA channels or USB Bulk Endpoints are available..."

Test Resources button under Device Configuration gives: "The device is not responding to the selected base address"

Test Panel starts to plot a line under "Amplitude vs. Samples Chart", but then gives the error: -200019. "Possible Reason(s):
ADC conversion attempted before the prior conversion was complete."

Right now it's configured like this:

Memory Range              0xFE2FB000 - 0xFE2FBFFF
Memory Range              0xFE2F2000 - 0xFE2F2FFF
Interrupt Request           17
Direct Memory Access   0


Under Settings, it shows:

Name                      Dev1
Vendor                    National Instruments
Model                      NI PCI-6034E
Serial Number          FFFFFFFF
PCI Bus                  2
PCI Device              8
Status                     Present

The Win XP Device Manager does not list any device conflicts, and the BIOS recognizes the board.

Thanks.

Hi Wave_monitor,

Can you please list the DAQmx driver you're using?  It's under the software tab in MAX.  Also, can you take a screen shot of the section of MAX you're working with?

Thanks,

The PC won't turn on at all now. I think the power supply is toast. It was acting strangely before - not turning on every time I pushed the power switch. Maybe this is related to the problem I was having? I guess we will find out when I get it fixed. Will post on the result...

Sounds like a plan, thanks for the update.

Replacing the power supply solved the problem in my case. I am no longer getting those errors, and
'Test Samples' plots a normal curve. In general, the computer is responding faster now. So it seems the board
was just not getting enough power.

Hey Wave_monitor

I'm glad you're up and running!
