Configuring for a NI PXI-8108 controller

[J_Bangasser]

I have a NI PXI-8108 controller and am trying to use nipxiconfig to setup my system, but there is now ini file for the 8108.  How do I get one or create one?

Thanks.

The easiest should be looking for the file on the media that came with the PXI-8108 controller.  Kits for controllers contain media that not only contains the installer for the Windows driver, but also the ini file to meet the PXI spec.  It should be found in a "Controller Descriptions" folder on the media.

If you don't have the media anymore or it didn't come to you personally, you can download the PXI Platform Services for Windows driver and extract the files out of the self-extracting exe.  In that distribution you should also be able to find a folder containing all the ini's for the controllers that distribution supports.

If you only have Linux you can install p7zip (http://www.7-zip.org/download.html) and extract the Windows web downloadable exe.

hostname$ 7z x nipxi253.exe

Thanks, Mike.  I found the file on my Windows system

and tranfered over to my Linux system.  I was able to setup my controller and chassis.

Thanks.
