SCXI - Error when creating virutal channel in Daqmx

Hi All,
I am in the process of upgrading our measurement system to labview 7. I uninstalled Labview 6 and then installed labview 7. In MAX our SCXI is verified and confirmed.
In my program when I try to create a virtual channel using the DAQmx Create Virtual Channel.vi I get the follwoing error:
Code: -200220 - Device Identifier is Invalid.

I use the following physical channel string:
SC1Mod1/ai0

I can't find any information on the error code. Please Help!!

Regards,
Setu.

Setu,
Indeed, this is quite puzzling. I have a few items to try. To use the DAQmx Create Virtual Channel.vi, your chassis needs to be verified under "NI-DAQmx Devices" (NOT Traditional NI-DAQ Devices) in MAX. Once you have confirmed that, the "physical channels" input should self-populate with a list of available channels. Check the filtering of the names if it does not show up. Hope this helps.

Thanks,
You saved the day again.
I was not clever enough to see it - the SCXI was indeed registered as a traditional device. Silly me.
Regards,
Setu.
