My Measure Acquisition Affects Other Acquisitions

Primary Software: Other NI Software>>Measure
Primary Software Version: 2.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem: I'm performing a digital I/O operation with my DAQ board, and I'm using Measure for Excel to perform an Analog Input operation as well. Whenever I start my Analog Input task, my digital lines are reset. Why is this?

Solution: The DAQ functions in Measure are high-level functions that will open and close a reference to the DAQ hardware each time they execute. For this reason other acquisitions already in place may be affected on the computer. The best way to get around this is to perform both of your acquisitions (AI and DIO) in the same programming environment, making sure to do buffered operations so that the hardware is not getting continually referenced and dereferenced. Check out the DAQ Troubleshooting webpages to learn more about DAQ programming. Also remember that the ComponentWorks DAQ controls for AI, AO, and DIO would be useful in this situation, and that these control ship with Measure 2.0. Check out the Related link below for the ComponentWorks Support Webpage.
