I purchased a data acquisition board from the ADAC company. The board is a 5516DMA. Along with the board came software drivers written for LabView. I am running LabView 5.1.

After loading their software I began to run several example .vi's. I have confirmed that the software (.ini, .con) is set up correctly by running the example "Easy Al Acq Waves". This .vi is working OK. When I try to run "Easy Al Sample Channels" I receive the error 5901 no matter what I do. I have placed probes on the main .vi's and have found that the .vi "AL_ InitDevice" gives me an error of 401160. Eventually the .vi "Al_StartDevice gives me the error 5901. No waveforms are displayed.

Can anyone help to identify what the problem might be?

Thanks

Maddog,

As you probably know, ADAC is out of business. Do you know of anyone who can repair malfunctioning boards?
