Communication problem with SCXI 1000 Chasis

[H-1NF_FIR]

I have followed all instructions on this site...
I have a SCXI1000 chasis, in this I have a 1520 strain guage board connected (via connection kit) to a pci-mio-16e1 DAQ card... I can not auto detect the board and when I manually add the board (in MAX) and then verify I get "Card ** missing in slot *whatever slot I am using* "

any suggestions??

The problem might be that the SCXI chassis I am using is second hand.... I am worried it is not poweing the card... even though the "on" light is on... Which are the pins that supply power to the card and what levels should they be at (I can simply verify if it works with a multimeter then)

Thanks in advance,
Scott

Scott;

It's sort of hard to verify if the problem is on the chssis or not by probing some lines. Even if you get the power lines working correctly, the SCXI bus might be damage and you will have that same behavior regardless the power lines state.

The best way to troubleshoot that is by either trying another SCXI module that you know for a fact that is working, or to try that module of yours on a SCXI chassis you that is working.

Hope this helps.
