finding NI cDAQ-9172 chassis

[lakersrl]

ok thanks it shows up fine now..but was wondering which chassis to select? right now says chassis is unidentified and gives me the option to pick a number of PXI chassis choices.How would I know which one to select?

thanks

when running my traditional DAQ labview program works fine, but with the same program with DAQmx there are errors such as device identifier is invalid as well as physical channel not specified.

The PXI system listing is not what you use for your cDAQ chassis.  As I have stated earlier in the posts, the cDAQ chassis should self-populate in MAX under Devices and Interfaces.

Chances are the resource identifier you are using is for TDAQ, but this is not the same one you should use for DAQmx in your programming.  Be sure when you switch over you are also changing that identifier.  Are you receiving error 200220 or something similar? Go to this KnowledgeBase for more information on how to name your devices when you are switching between Traditional DAQ and DAQmx drivers.

yes i receive thos types of errors, also how would i go about fixing the invalid identifier. Ive already tryed saving the device under a different name. As of now im just using the NIcDAQ-9172,

I've uploaded a screenshot of the Measurement and automation explorer if this helps any.

Hello,

The identifier from your screenshot is in quotations.  For your modules you will use their respective identifiers as listed in your screenshot:
