CFG mode on pre v2.0 NI Instrument Simulator

I have an NI Instrument Simulator (older than the version 2 referenced in the manuals) that does not have a CFG switch.  Is there another way to put this device into configuration mode?  When I attempt to connect to the device with the NI Instrument Simulator Wizard software, it gives me an 'Error Locating the NI Instrument Simulator' dialog box.

H Brian,

 

Thanks for the post! I noticed you had received any support yet.

 

What version are you using? I have found a manual which doesn't seem have a switch labelled CFG switch, here is the link

 

I have also read some advice for a previous service request, which suggested:

 

"right click on the GPIB board in MAX and select "Scan for Instruments". This should then do a scan for instruments and the Device Simulator should show up as the first instrument, and it should have a primary address of 2. As far as the sequentially verified error, what version of NI-488.2 are you using? You could try upgrading if its an option? Or could you try reinstalling it to see if that clears it up?"

 

Please let me know how you get on,

 

Kind Regards, 

Kind Regards
