no available switches in new switch executive virtual device

[Bazza]

Hi all,

I have a problem creating new switch executive virtual device....

The second screen in the 'create new...' wizard (started from within MAX) has no items listed in the available switches list box, so I cant progress and create the virtual device.

I am using a PXI chassis with a PXI-2565 switch device with the driver installed on the connected PC.  The instrument appears in the devices and interfaces section of MAX under Daqmx devices and I can drive the switches with the Daqmx test panel.

Any ideas anyone?

Cheers

Barry

Hi Barry,

      Have you created the IVI configuration in MAX. You will need to create the logical name and driver session before they will appear in switch exec. Don't forget to save the IVI configuration once created as this is not automatic.

Hope this helps,

  Nick

Hi Barry,

  I beleive the issue is the same as a support call we've had with your colleague Tom.

THe solution was the PATH variable which had been overwritten so it couldn't find the dll's in the vxipnp directory.

Thanks
