Python PXI 1042Q

[ngc86]

Hi,

I have always worked with DAQ cards and Python scripts to control them.
Now, we switched to a PXI-1042Q that has many slots with DAQs. It seems I am not able to access them in any way. 
I tried nindaqmx and nimi libraries. I think I am doing something wrong, or that I am not using the correct libraries.
Does anyone know how to do this or can anyone point me in the right direction (what libraries to use, how to connect with the PXI)?
Thanks a lot for any help!

Heya, 

When working with PXI you need to make sure you have installed you PXI Platform Services to make sure you can communicate correctly with the PXI. 

Here is a list of the various python libraries you need: Python Resources for NI Hardware and Software

If you have already done this can you talk me through what isn't currently working with your setup? This will help narrow down what the issue is and how to solve it?
