Why Do I Get Error -10007 in BioBench 1.2 While Using a PCI-1200? Primary Software: Other NI Software>>BioBenchPrimary Software Version: 1.2 Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A Secondary Software:
Problem: I am trying to use BB 1.2 with a PCI-1200 card and the NI-DAQ that is included on the BB1.2 CD. The problem comes when the program is launched and I've configured the channels to have more than one channel scanning and the others disconnected. (The following does not occur with only one connected channel.) The first sign of trouble comes after calibration when we try to change the vertical scale. The software gives the same number for max and min (usually 25 one channel and 0 on the other). When I attempt to change these, the computer gives two consecutive errors: the first saying that the max cannot be greater than 25 (for example) and the second saying that the min cannot be less than 25 (always the same number as the max). I've only gone as far as to try the scale for two channels. Accepting the unacceptable settings on the vertical scale, I press the go button. At this point, I get Error -10007. If I select only one channel on the scan list, this does not happen. I should note that I have had this problem with the PCI-1200 on two different computers. One brand new Dell and one that already has a PCI-6034E installed. I cannot cause the error with the PCI-6034E, which tells me that it cannot be my computer settings. If I acquire a few seconds of data with the PCI-6034E, press stop, select the other card in the Channels window, and press GO, the same old problems arise. When I use the test panels in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), the channels all work fine. Solution: Unlike other boards in differential mode, for the 1200 family of data acquisition boards (DAQCard-1200, PCI-1200, Lab-PC-1200, DAQPad-1200, and Lab-PC-1200AI) the channels names of the four differential channels are 0, 2, 4, and 6 as opposed to 0, 1, 2, and 3. So, in your scan list you have to specify (in descending order) "6, 4, 2, 0" for your four differential channels. Related Links: BioBench Support Attachments:
