pxi pci mac

[colin-aerospace]

I recently purchased the pxi-8362 pcie board to communicate with a PXI-1042Q module from a macintosh.  I'm running OS 10.6 on a fairly new mac pro.  I was told by the sales team at NI that the PCI and PCIe boards worked on macs, but I can't get mine to show up.  I have the latest NI-VISA installed, with the latest NI-DAQmx Base package installed.  When I run NIVisaic, I can see the PXI board, but that's the only place.  None of the modules connected to it (PXI-6289, 6052e,6711, or 8232) show up anywhere else.  Also, the PCI board doesn't even show up in the apple system profiler.  It seems like I don't have the proper drivers, but I can't find any, and of course the cd that came with it is just for windows.  Any suggestions on how to install this?  I came across something about the Driver Wizard in NI-VISA, but I haven't had any luck with what to do with that.  Thanks in advance!

Update : Restarted the computer and got the grey screen of death.  When turning back on, the cards were updated.  But on restart, go the grey screen of death again.  Opened up the chasis and jiggled the card around a bit, pushed it in a little harder. Everything is good now, no grey screen of death, cards now show up in the list of devices.  New problem is I can't seem to talk to all the connected modules yet.... but that's a separate issue, I created a new thread about that.

A good resource for drivers is www.ni.com/drivers. From there you can find any driver you need. For instance, we can confirm that you have the DAQmxbase 3.4.5 that is specifically for Macs or download it if necessary. Additionally, the latest non-Beta NI-VISA for Macs is version 5.0 and is also available. This website is useful  for all NI drivers that you will need for your hardware.
