Only able to self-test PCIe-7856 in MX

[rilauren]

Hello, 

I have a PCIe-7856 multifunction DAQ device. Prior to installation of the device, I downloaded LabVIEW 2023 Q1, LabVIEW runtime (64-bit) 2023 Q1, NI R Series Multifunction RIO 2023 Q1, and LabVIEW FPGA Module 2023. I am running on a Windows 10 system.

The DAQ device shows up in the Windows Device Manager with the proper drivers. I also see the device in NI MAX (with the yellow logo), however the only functions that I can perform are "self-test" and "rename" when I right-click on the DAQ device under the "Devices and Interfaces" tab. The results of the self-test are okay.

I attempted to use the Data Neighborhood function to create a new NI DAQmx task, but the device does not show up under "supported physical channels"

I should be able to perform more actions on the device in NI MAX, has anyone seen this problem before or have a fix for it? 

Cheers!

PCIe-7856 is not a multifunctional DAQ device. It is a multifunctional RIO device.

It does not support the DAQmx driver and hence all DAQmx-related operations are not applicable.

See Getting Started With NI R Series for USB Part 1: Introduction, although it is written for USB it applies to PCIe RIO as well.
