NIMax NI cDAQ-9174 Simulation

[David-Baratheon]

Hi everyone

I am trying to simulate a NI cDAQ-9174 in NIMax.

I am right clickiing on devices and interfaces, creating a new simulation, selecting compactDAQ Chassisand choosing NI cDAQ-9174.

I get an error message that says "Create new failed. The required device information was not present on the target. Please update, install, or re-install the software associated with this device".

I assumed I didnt have the relevant driver installed so I went to the NI website and went to NI cDAQ-9174 Support, and under drivers it just has NI-DAQmx 14.5.1 listed, which I already have installed on my machine.

Any ideas why the new simulation device won't install?

Hi David,

no problem with my MAX5.3.3 (with LabVIEW2011).

It seems you did not install the complete DAQmx driver with all needed parts…

I reinstalled the latest version "with support" and restarted my machine and it all seems to be working fine now
