Hi,
I am trying to create a simulated device in NISE to develop applications on a development machine that doesn't have PXI hardware attached.
The following is from the help file. Highlighted step fails because the option NiSwitch is not available from the ring control.
I need to have PXI2565/2569 and similar devices
Thanks
How do I create a simulated NI-SWITCH device and use it in my application?
Virtual switches are useful for creating your NI Switch Executive virtual device without physical hardware. To create a virtual switch, you need to create an IVI logical name and a corresponding driver session by completing the following steps:
Launch Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX).
Expand IVI Drivers.
Right-click Driver Sessions and select Create New.
**On the Software tab, select niSwitch under Software Module.
On the General tab, select Specific Driver under Simulate With.
Type Topology: followed by the topology name under Driver Setup (see below for information on topology name).
Right-click Logical Names and select Create New.
Under Driver Session, select the driver session created in steps 3-6.
Save your IVI configuration by clicking Save Configuration.
In NI Switch Executive, your virtual switch appears in the list of available switches.
To find the topology of your National Instruments switch, complete the following steps:
In the NI Switches Help, expand Devices.
Select the switch module you would like to simulate.
For each switch module there is a table that lists the topology type and its software name. Make sure you use the first topology name and not the constant name in parenthesis. For example if you want to simulate an NI SCXI-1127 in 64x1 Mux mode, the topology name is 1127/1-Wire 64x1 Mux, not NISWITCH_TOPOLOGY_1127_1_WIRE_64X1_MUX.
