PXI-5620 "No Device Found"

[dthrash]

I am unable to get my PXI-5620 to do anything besides appear in NI MAX and pass a self test.

I have tried running several NI-SCOPE example VIs, and the NI-SCOPE Signal Express VI on the target "TransOsc" but both fail to find the 5620 module (It does not appear on the I/O pull down menu even after selecting "refresh").  

Attached below is a screen shot with the following items displayed;

• NI MAX (to prove that the 5620 module is indeed recognized by MAX, and the proper software is installed on the target) 
• The project  heirarchy ( the VI I am writing to talk to the module through the chassis labeled "TransOsc" is labeled  "untitled 3")
• The NI-SCOPE Express VI configuration page (showing "No Device Found")

What OS are you using?  Or more specifically, what bitness?  I do not believe the 5620 supports any 64 bit OS.

My computer is running windows 7 (64 bit). I am running labview 2013 SP1 (32 bit).

Looking in the NI-Scope Readme, the PXI-5620 is not supported on Windows Vista/7/8 64-Bit.

After consulting the  readme for NI-SCOPE 4.1 I found that

"The run-time installer does not support the NI 5102, NI 5112, NI 5620, or NI 5621"

I am running RT 13.0 on the target. Is this why I cant interface with the module?

[dthrash]

Why does the module care about the operating system of the host computer? Shouldnt it only care about the OS of the target (RT 13.0)?

[Mark_S1]

You are right, only the OS of the target matters. I missed in the screen shot that it was remote. 

As you found in the NI-Scope Readme, the 5620 is not supported on LabVIEW RT.

[dthrash]

So how do people normally interface with this device? 

I suppose one option is to partition the hard drive of the target and install a compatible version of windows?

If you have a chassis with a RT controller, you wont be able to run VIs on the host side that can find device names in that chassis. You have to make the VI part of a project and deploy it on the RT controller.
