cRio-9045 VISA Network Resource Creation

[DesF]

Hi all,

I am trying to create a Visa Network Device resource on my cRio 9045. When I try to create a Visa a device I get the following.

I believe I have the correct drivers/software installed but with no luck (see below). I have found a compatibility chart that shows the system should be compatible, see link (https://www.ni.com/en-gb/support/documentation/compatibility/17/ni-visa-and-operating-system-compati...).

Any ideas would be really appreciated.

The solution to create a VISA network device in a CRio Real Time Linux Operating system is to:

1. Select the NI-VISA software section in software for the CRio device accessible within MAX
2. Go to the VISA Options tab and select add alias.
3. Add an alias with a suitable alias name and create the resource name similar to that created for a windows based TCP/IP resource and save eg.: TCPIP0::xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx::9001::SOCKET
4. The resource is now available for selection within a CRio VI

This solution allowed me to deploy a VI within my CRio 9045 device that connected to a TCP/RS232 gateway elsewhere on the network. The resource still does not appear within the "Network Devices" section in MAX but otherwise works fine.
