  1. Both devices have firmware 1.07. 1E44DDE continues to fail InstaCal's analog scan test, and 223BBCF continues to pass. We purchased 223BBCF from Digikey on 2/6/2024. I can't find the purchase history of 1E44DDE. I was trying it out as a replacement for USB-1208FS in late 2022, and hadn't realized that it was originally purchased much earlier.
  2. The serial number is 1E44DDE. I now also have serial number 223BBCF. It DOES collect data in InstaCal's Analog Continuous Scan Test, and it does NOT cause Instacal to freeze during an Analog Single Scan Test.
  3. Yes, the latest test described was on a Windows 10 computer and InstaCal v6.74, and InstaCal doesn't work with the Analog Scan Test. So I should replace the module. It has now been over a year since purchase, but that's because I've been in this thread for over a year. As this is an ongoing issue that I reported upthread in 2022, will the warranty apply?
  4. I've come back to this project after not getting it to work a year ago. My issue might not be specifically with LabVIEW 8.2, but with any attempt to run an Analog Input Scan on the USB-1208FS-Plus. If I run the Analog Scan Test in Instacal 6.74, Scan Channels 0 through 2, 1000 Hz, Continuous, Instacal collects no data. If I run the same Instacal test but change the Scan Mode from Continuous to Single, then the LED flashes, the Stop button does nothing, and Instacal become nonresponsive until I unplug the -Plus board from the USB. Running the same Analog tests in the same Instacal with the USB-1208FS (not -Plus) gets a good scan in Continuous and in Single mode. Similar results using DAQami with the USB-1208FS (works great) and the USB-1208FS-Plus (does not get any data on an Analog Input scan). In LabVIEW 8.2 I've tried every scan mode with AInScFg.vi. They all either continuously flash the LED and freeze the software until the USB is unplugged, or they report "Invalid Sample Mode". And the issues are only with the -Plus board; the USB-1208FS works great. I'm not sure what else to try. I need to be able to scan 3 channels at 1000 S/s per channel.
  5. There's only one copy of cbw32.dll and it's in the appropriate folder. I installed Instacal 6.24, but Windows started complaining about lost driver files. I had to restore the OS from a backup clone to get it to accept the -Plus board again. Instacal 6.24 and 6.27 now have similar behavior. They find the -Plus board, assign it as Board 0, and allow me to select 8 single-ended inputs. But my LabVIEW-generated .exe still freezes when it tries to communicate with the -Plus board. It may not actually be the DCfgPort.vi that's freezing. I'm creating some test code to see whether AOut.vi, DOut.vi, AInScFg.vi, or ToEng.vi might be the culprit. Am I correct in assuming that those should behave the same with USB-1208FS-Plus as they had with USB-1208FS?
  6. I may not need it to be USB-1208FS exactly, but I do need the -Plus board to respond to the same UL commands. The first UL LabVIEW vi that is called is DCFGPORT.VI, which worked with the USB-1208FS but freezes the program with the USB-1208FS-Plus. Is the attached picture not valid LabVIEW code to use with the -Plus?
  7. I've been using USB-1208FS since around 2007. It is part of a device we manufacture, with a couple hundred units around the world. Our device contains a single board computer running Windows XP Embedded, Instacal 5.72, and our custom software created using LabVIEW. Now that USB-1208FS is no longer available, I had hoped USB-1208FS-Plus would work as an exact replacement. But Instacal 5.72 doesn't find the -Plus board. Instacal 6.35 and 6.73 get mostly installed but then report that the installation is "interrupted". The icalsetup installers for Instacal 6.55 thru 6.72 don't run at all. Only Instacal 6.27 gets fully installed and sees the -Plus board. I can then set the "Identifier" (is this the same as "Custom Serial No." in Instacal 5.72?) and configure for 8 Single Ended channels. But my software freezes when it calls UL-LabVIEW commands with the -Plus board. Is it possible to configure a USB-1208FS-Plus such that UL LabVIEW treats it exactly like a USB-1208FS?
