Wavesurfer + NI PXI, Reference Clock Source errors?

[Matthijs van der Meer]

Hi,

Long-time WaveSurfer user here, setting up a new rig. It's a Windows 10 machine, hooked up to a NI PXIe-1071 PXI chassis and a general purpose I/O device (PXI-6221)

When starting acquisition in Wavesurfer, I get this error:

Acquiring with MATLAB functions works just fine though…

dq = daq("ni");

dq.Rate = 8000;

addinput(dq, "PXI1Slot3", "ai0", "Voltage");

data = read(dq, seconds(1));

plot(data.Time, data.PXI1Slot3_ai0)

Any ideas what's tripping WaveSurfer up here? Anyone else managed to make it work with PXI-based cards?

Thanks!

PXI shouldn't be a problem, but that's an M series card (62xx).  WaveSurfer only works with X series cards (63xx).

Sorry,

Adam
