To check the source code(VI) in absence of real hardware

[Kirit]

I need to check the VI , which is developed to measure pressure with pressure transducer.

Later this VI is deplyed in the Test stand system as .exe file. At the test stand system we have all the hardware from the PCI DAq card to the pressure transducer.

But the system where the software is there dont have the hardware.

 So how can i check the code in absence of hardware?

Can the Simulate signal will be helpful or we should need atleat pci-Daq card and waveform generator to check the code.

Any suggestions in this regard will be helpful

Many thanks

Hi

   You can check your VI with the simulation device by creating in MAX, need not to have hardware but it wont be an realistic data.

Hi

Thank you

I dont know the procedure to get that simulated device, can youhelp m eout in doing so.

I know it can selected in MAX but i am not sure about the procedure.

In MAX, open the Devices and Interfaces tree

Right click the NI-DAQmx child,

Create New -> Simulated

Find the device you are wanting to simulate and OK

You can now communicate with it as if the device were on your system, but it will not generate any meaningful data,

Hi Kirit,

You should go in MAX, and under My System, right click on "Devices and interfaces" then 'Create new ' and then 'NI-DAQmx simulated device'. In the M series or any , you can find both PCI, PXI cards.Select the particular device and click ok. This should allow you to test your code with a simulated device.
