The SCXI-1200 is an oddball even with the right NI-DAQ installation. It
needs to be manually installed into Windows using the Add Hardware applet
from the Control Panel, before you can get anywhere. This is how it goes
under XP, perhaps other Windows systems will be similar:
You tell it you have already connected the hardware, then select "Add a new
hardware device" from the list which appears, then "Install the hardware
that I manually select from a list (Advanced)", then select "Data
Acquisition Devices", then select the SCXI-1200 from the list. Tell XP to
install it. The driver isn't digitally signed, but I haven't experienced
any problems. I drive a 1984 car, and I think its the newest car I've
owned.
Now that the Windows De
vice Manager knows about the SCXI-1200, MAX can pick
it up. Maybe you have to reboot, I can't remember. Definitely refresh MAX.
I'm still tearing my hair out over an SCXI -1200 trying to get it to work
with my SCXI 1000 chassis, but at least XP and MAX know about it. The
longest journey begins with a single step.
