Is it possible to test written code without a card installed?

[MLH Group TECH]

I am working from a pc that does not have access to the instrument set up.  I have written the code for a pcie-6343, is there anyway to test the software without the card installed?

Thanks

Hi,

You can surely write simulated data to test the algorithm of your code by disabling the hardware portions of your code; and give the main chunk of your code 'expected data' and see how if it gives desired results.

If you would like to run your code with the hardware portions enabled,  you could create a 'simulated device' under Measurement and Automation Explorer -> Devices and Interfaces, right click 'Create New' and select simulated device.  The PCIe-6343 can be found under X series.  If you cannot see the specific card, you might need to upgrade your DAQmx drivers.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
