Want to simulate a PCI-6024E

[bentnail]

I would like to use NI-DAQmx to simulate a PCI-6024E for developing code on my PC which does not contain this acquisition card (or any other DAQ card).

I just finished installing NI-DAQ 7.4, with MAX 3.1.1.3004. In MAX, I right-click "Devices and Interfaces", then select "Create New", then "NI-DAQmx Simulated Device". The dialog box that appears will only allow me to simulate devices for SCXI, SCC, TEDS, or RTSI.

Is there a way to simulate an acquisition card such as the PCI-6024E? How can I obtain this option?

I'm not sure what is different between your installation and mine, (I'm also running MAX 3.1.1.3004) but when I check on a machine with NI-DAQ 7.4, when I "right click" in MAX on NI_DAQmx devices it presents me with a menu that has as a selection NIDAQmx simulated device. When I select that it gives me another menu with a tree menu with what appears to be most of the current device types (M series DAQ, E series DAQ, etc.) It sounds like you may not have a complete installation, some how. Was yours "two cd's" worth? One is supposedly the 7.4, the other drivers.

Good Luck,

I did download both "CDs" for the NI-DAQ 7.4 installation, and chose to install everything except for NI-SWITCH and the IVI Compliance Package. It does sound like a corrupt installation... suppose I can uninstall everything then try again...

Thanks for your response.

Yes, it was probably just a corrupt installation. A reinstall should solve the problem.
