Configuring Simulated Hardware for Online Training

[jimSchneider]

I am attempting to learn LabVIEW NXG through the online training. In the first 
or second module there is a segment called "Configuring Simulated Hardware 
Demonstration".  Here it asks you to click on the "HARDWARE" tab to configure 
the simulated hardware.  However there is no HARDWARE tab on my screen.  I 
suspect this is because I don't actually have any NI hardware connected to my 
PC.  Unfortunately based on my project's schedule it will probably be quite a 
while before I do have any hardware connected. 
Is there some way for me to enable the HARDWARE tab (or otherwise configure the 
simulated hardware) in this circumstance so that I can do the online training 
with the simulated hardware?

I don't have NXG personally but if you open NI-MAX you can set up simulated instruments that LabVIEW can use there, and I assume NXG shares the same instrument pool.

Try opening NI-MAX, then right-click "Devices and interfaces", then when it asks you what to add choose "Simulated NI-DAQmx Device or Modular Instrument" and go from there.  Then see if the needed option appears.
