Refer to previous NI-DAQmx readmes, available on ni.com/drivers, for issues fixed in earlier versions of NI-DAQmx.
This section covers known issues and considerations specific to NI-DAQmx.
Upgrading the version of Windows on a system with NI-DAQmx installed can result in the loss of device names and device configuration. Devices can also appear disconnected. For information on how to resolve this, see Device Configuration Erased after Upgrade from Windows 8 to 8.1.
Importing a configuration in MAX generates an error if C Series modules have been removed from a CompactDAQ chassis. To fix the issue, either add the removed modules back into the chassis, or delete the removed modules from MAX and the .ini, .nce, or .txt configuration file.
The Device Document Browser for NI-DAQmx is no longer available. To find documentation for devices supported in NI-DAQmx, visit ni.com/manuals.
The NI cDAQ-918x/919x configuration, both with the NI Web-based configuration and in MAX, requires Microsoft Silverlight. Silverlight is installed with NI-DAQmx and is available from microsoft.com/silverlight.
The NI cDAQ-918x/919x might not function correctly if NI-DAQmx is installed in a path with non-ASCII (or multi-byte) characters. This issue most commonly affects NI-DAQmx installations on Korean, Japanese, and Chinese versions of Windows. If your NI-DAQmx installation path contains non-ASCII characters, uninstall NI-DAQmx and other NI application development software and then reinstall your software to a path without non-ASCII characters.
Web-based configuration is available for the NI cDAQ-918x/919x by accessing the device in a Microsoft Silverlight-enabled Web browser via its host name or IP address. This support is only accessible from Windows-based or Macintosh-based systems. Refer to the chassis user guide for more information.
If you receive Error -201340, you need to update the firmware on your Network DAQ device. Firmware files for Network DAQ devices are named ni<model number>fw.cfg (for instance, ni9188fw.cfg). You can obtain the version of firmware supported by your version of NI-DAQmx by going to ni.com/info and entering the info code exkpzt. If you installed NI-DAQmx from a DVD, you can also find a compatible version in the Firmware directory on that DVD.
In NI-DAQmx 9.3 and later, an invalid device name returns Error –200220, kErrorInvalidDeviceID, instead of Error –200170, kErrorPhysicalChanDoesNotExist. This change has no impact on newly created applications but can affect existing applications if the applications are performing error checking by looking for the specific error number (–200170).
The NI USB-4431 specifications have changed. The AO offset is specified with a higher level of uncertainty. The analog inputs and outputs also have a higher gain uncertainty than previously specified. In particular, sample rates of less than 40 kHz result in an accuracy drop. The newest version of the NI USB-443x Specifications reflects these changes. A separate document, Notice of Specification Change - USB 4431, details these changes as well.
Single-point reads and writes do not respond to the Abort Execution button in LabVIEW.
MAX strain tasks do not support configuring terminal configurations. By default, the configuration in MAX is differential. For the NI SC-2043-SG, the terminal configuration is NRSE. To avoid configuration issues, use the NI-DAQmx API to create the task.
The maximum number of channels you can have in a task created with the DAQ Assistant is 4096 channels.
Hardware-timed single-point mode and hardware-timed nonbuffered mode are nonfunctional. Your application is using hardware-timed nonbuffered mode if you have set up a sample clock and a buffer size of 0, or set up a sample clock, but do not begin writing until after you start the task. All other waveform and static analog output modes work as expected.
On the NI ENET/WLS-9215, an unexpected timeout can occur in continuous tasks using an external or very slow sample clock. The last sample may not be returned until the next sample clock pulse. To avoid the timeout, increase the timeout time (to allow the next sample clock pulse to occur) or acquire an even number of samples.
Not all NI-DAQmx events will fire if the conditions for the event occur more quickly than the system can process.
When using pulse width, semi-period or two-edge separation buffered measurements with the NI 660x and NI 6624 on counters 0 and 1, some samples may not be acquired under certain circumstances.
Running certain applications on Microsoft Windows 7/Vista requires administrator privileges, because the application name contains keywords such as setup, update, or install. To avoid this problem, you must add an additional manifest to the application that specifies the privileges required to run the application. Some NI-DAQmx ANSI C, Measurement Studio Visual C++, C#, and Visual Basic .NET examples include these keywords. Therefore, some examples for these application development environments include an additional manifest file that you must embed in the example executable.
In ANSI C, Measurement Studio Visual C++ , C#, and Visual Basic .NET, the manifest file is named [ExampleName].exe.manifest, where [ExampleName] is the NI-provided example name. The steps for embedding an example varies depending on the programming language. Refer to the comments included with affected examples for additional information.
Compiling Visual Studio 2005 examples can generate the following warning: manifest authoring warning 81010002: Unrecognized Element "requestedPrivileges" in namespace "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3". For more information, refer to the Microsoft Feedback web page. This warning does not affect example execution and can be ignored. This warning happens because of the version of mt.exe that is shipped with Visual Studio 2005. The mt.exe tool embeds the additional manifest in the example executable.
Important: Your computer may restart when you run an application that contains the additional manifest entry. Refer to the Microsoft Knowledge Base entry for more information. To avoid a computer restart, build your application using Visual Studio 2005 SP1.

The existing DAQmx Is Read or Write Late function/VI has been obsoleted and no longer has any effect. Applications that must check whether they are maintaining real-time behavior have two options. For the strictest checking, use the Wait for Next Sample Clock function/VI. Refer to your API reference help, such as the LabVIEW Help or the NI-DAQmx C Function Reference Help, for more information on this function/VI. To check only whether the application misses any analog input samples, set the Report Missed Samples property to True on the analog input task. In LabVIEW, the Report Missed Samples property is in the Real Time property node. For more details, National Instruments strongly recommends that you read the document referred to by the Wait for Next Sample Clock function/VI.
As of NI-DAQmx 7.4, the default setting for the duplicate count prevention attribute/property on M Series and TIO-based counters has been changed. This change affects all input counter operations, with the exception of single-point edge counting and position measurements. Duplicate count prevention is now on by default as long as the following conditions are met:
To learn more, refer to Duplicate Count Prevention in the NI-DAQmx help.
If you are using NI-DAQmx with a .NET language, an existing project can produce build errors from an assembly that is not referenced. To eliminate this error, add a reference to the NationalInstruments.Common assembly to the project.
Starting in NI-DAQmx 8.5, a delay of 20 µs was added to the fastest possible channel conversion rate on an SCXI chassis connected to a 16-bit or 18-bit E or M Series device. If a sample rate is set fast enough to require a convert clock rate greater than the default rate, warning 200011 is generated, informing the user that the accuracy of the measurement might be compromised. However, since this is a warning, the convert clock used is based on the rate needed by the sample clock set by the user (that is, convert clock = sample clock * number of channels).
For SCXI chassis containing a module with track-and-hold circuitry, 10 µs of padding is now added to the fastest possible conversion rate when connected to a 12-bit E Series device.
These changes ensure the most accurate data is being acquired. However, if the effect on the performance due to this change is too great (such as on an RT system using hardware-timed single point in a control loop), then the convert clock rate attribute can be explicitly set, overriding the default rate.
This change affects only multichannel acquisitions.
In versions prior to NI-DAQmx 8.5, only 10 µs of delay was added to the fastest possible channel conversion rate on an SCXI chassis without a track-and-hold module connected to any DAQ device. In these versions of NI-DAQmx, no warning was generated when the sample rate needed a faster convert clock than was chosen by default. When an SCXI chassis with a track-and-hold module was present, the convert clock rate selected was the fastest possible rate that the DAQ device can handle, up to 333 kHz.
NI-DAQmx 8.3 changes the algorithm used to scale the 20 mA current outputs of the NI 6704 to a method that matches the behavior of Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy). Previous versions of the NI-DAQmx driver use a second method.
The effect of the change is that when NI-DAQmx programs the 6704 to output current, the actual current level of the 6704 is 10 µA higher with NI-DAQmx 8.3 compared to previous versions of NI-DAQmx. The actual current output with NI-DAQmx 8.3 is the same compared to Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) drivers. This change has no effect on the voltage outputs of the 6704.
Because of this change, NI recommends that you externally calibrate NI 6704 devices with NI-DAQmx 8.3 (or later) before using devices with the NI-DAQmx 8.3 (or later) driver. NI 6704 devices that ship with NI-DAQmx 8.3 have already been calibrated with NI-DAQmx 8.3. For other NI 6704 devices, refer to the manual calibration procedure available at ni.com/calibration.
Unplug your USB-9xxx and plug it back in or power the USB device down and up after upgrading NI-DAQmx. If the USB-9xxx is connected to a USB hub, make sure to disconnect the USB-9xxx from the hub, not the hub from the computer. Disconnecting power from the USB device causes installed devices to load the correct version of the firmware.
If you connect hardware TEDS to USB-9233/9237 channels configured with virtual TEDS, the virtual TEDS will be replaced with hardware TEDS data after upgrading to NI-DAQmx 8.6 or later.
You can automate the installation of most NI products using command-line arguments to suppress some or all of the installer user interface and dialog boxes. However, starting with the August 2012 releases (products using NI Installers version 3.1 or later), you may need to perform additional steps before or during a silent installation of NI software.
If the NI product you are installing uses Microsoft .NET 4.0, the .NET installer may run before any NI software installs and may require a reboot before the installation of NI software begins. To avoid a .NET reboot, install .NET 4.0 separately before you install NI software.
For more information about automating the installation of NI products, refer to the following KnowledgeBase articles:
When you install National Instruments software on Microsoft Windows 8.x, you will notice a few additional tiles on the Start screen, including shortcuts to NI application software products such as NI LabVIEW, Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), and the new NI Launcher.
