We have acquired an older used PXI-1045 chassis with PXI-6254, PXI-6733, PXI-6511 and PXI-6512 cards, my task is to verify that the PCI-8336 in our desktop can talk to one or more of the cards. If I could run a simple script on the desktop to ping the status of maybe the PXI-6254 it would be great! If we can ping other cards as well it would be a bonus! I have no experience with Labview or any NI software. There is no NI software installed on this desktop. Once I have confirmed that there is some connectivity then our IT guy will re-image a windows and install that and the other software on this dedicated desktop. In a couple weeks we will arrange for someone from another group to install(port) his application to our desktop and PXI-1045, he wrote it in C Sharp to control his PXIe-1095 chassis and set of cards. We have ordered a set of hardware similar to his PXIe-1095 setup but it will be a long, long time before that arrives and we need to make progress developing soon. Any suggestions on how I can quickly do connectivity tests on this PXI-1045 would be appreciated!!!

The guy who lent us the equipment came and took a look, he installed some software(see screen shot) and it seemed to work. Maybe because these boards are old the NI MAX tool needed the installs, not sure but we are happy this part is good now.
