Development with WinXP and deployment on PXI possible?

[eirik]

I'm a new user to LabView and PXI-systems. I' trying to develop for a PXI-system with WinXP on my workstation to deploy the programm if its ready on the PXI-system, but it seems we have to buy  the RT extension or a MXI-interface if I want to have access on the hardware of my PXI-system. Something is accessible through VISA but not the PXI-cards. Is that right?

Hi,

Last year I build a tester with a PXI rack. I started with a MXI interface. The PXI modules are a part of your PC and it helped me to wire the hardware VI's. Later on when the hardware part was ready I switched over to a embedded controller (Not RT)

With VISA I can still acces some devices but not all (All PXI devices are non NI except the controller)
