no physical device support

I have ni pxi-1045 chasis with a ni pxi-4 controller with Labview 8.6 just loaded I can't get the DAQ to recognize any of the cards the measurement and explorer recognize the cards but the Daq assistance doesn't see the cards, How do you get it to recoginize the cards?

thanks

What cards are you trying to use with the DAQ assistant and what is the DAQmx driver you are using?  You say that you can see the cards in Measurement and Automation Explorer so can you run a test panel with the cards?

Hi.

We experiment the same problem: MAX recognizes PXI multifunction 6259, but Labview does not recognize giving us "No device found" when we use DAQ Assistant. All task examples in MAX worked properly.

PXI is connected via Ethernet cable and we can properly see it under "Remote Device" in MAX. We have performed several connection configuration (direct or via switch with fixed IP address or DHCP).

We have 8.8 driver version on PXI and  PC.

We look forward to your quick answer.

Check out the article linked below.  It has some good troubleshooting steps for if you can not recognize your device in the DAQ Assistant.

Dear Jordan F,

we have observed your suggestion, but no solution has been found. What can I do?

Thanks

You can not directly access and run a VI that uses the remote device on your local computer.  To run a program using this device you need to first create a project in LabVIEW.  Once the project is created, right click on the Project in the Project Items tree and select New>>Targets and Devices.  Select "Existing device on remote subnet".  You will then see a remote PXI system in the project.  From here you can right click on the remote PXI system and select New>>VI.  This should allow you to find the device when using the DAQ assistant in LabVIEW.  When you try to run the program, it will prompt you to save the VI and then proceede to deploy this VI on the remote computer.  I attached a screenshot of what this may look like in the Project tree.
