Configure acquisition without hardware

[TC_Magic]

I have a real problem!

I am trying to setup acquisition using a DAQpad-6020E, the problem is that I don't have the hardware with me.

Is there any way of setting up the hardware in the code so that when I e-mail it, it will work.

I am reading voltages in (5 channels).

I have had the software working with the hardware using virtual channels but stupidly I didn't convert the virtual channels so MAX says that the channels are invalid.

I have built an installer but when the software is installed and run we get the following error message.

------------------

"Error - 10001 occurred at AI Group Config

Possible reason(s):

NI-DAQ LV: An error was detected in the input string; the arrangement or ordering of the characters in the string is now consistent with the expected ordering."

-----------------------------

I think this means that the software does not know about the virtual channels.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello TimS,

I think you are using Traditional DAQ - there is no possibility to simulate device.

However, you can upgrade to DAQmx - ideally before you start your project. DAQmx driver added Simulated Devices - you can find more information in tutorial NI-DAQmx Simulated Devices.

I'm using a DAQpad-6020E and I couldn't find it in the list.

my bad - you are right, it is not supported by DAQmx.

this means, that you will not be able to simulate the device.
