MAX Simulated Device SCXI-1001

[Bill in Phoenix]

I open "Measurement and Automation Explorer".

Right click on "Device and Interfaces".

Select "Create New".

Select "NI-DAQmx Simulated Device".

Press "Finish".

Expand "SCXI Chassis".

Select "NI SCXI-1001".

Press "OK".

Window "Create New SCXI Chassis" appears.

("Chassis Communicator" does not allow a selection)

"Chassis Address" set to zero

Press "Save".

Window "Chassis Communicator" not picked with message "Please pick the communicating DAQ device."

My system does not have an SCXI-1001 attached. Our equipment is being shipped to the

installation site. We need to continue software development and test.

Can you tell me if I can simulate the SCXI-1001 without the SCXI being attached to my computer?

This function worked when I tried it on the computer that had the SCXI-1001 attached.

Is there a work around for his issue?

Thank you for your help.

Hi Bill-

In order to configure a simulated SCXI chassis you will first need to create a simulated DAQ card to serve as the chassis controller.  I would suggest a simple multifunction I/O board such as the M Series PCI-6221.  Please post back if you are still not successful.

Thanks-

I set up the configuration exactly like the actual hardware, doing the PXI modules first, and it works correctly now.

Thank you for your help !
