Hi,
I encountered some problems with the PXI system. My PXI system is as below:
- Chasis: NI PXI-1044
- Card bus: NI PXI-8360
- 4 Aeroflex slots
- Desktop with Windows XP SP2
My problem is:
1) NI PXI-8360 is Unknown under in MAX in Device and Interferances > PXI system (External PC)
2) NI trigger routing module is Unknown under in MAX in Device and Interferances > PXI system (External PC)
Pls refer to the snap-shot below:
As a result, i guess, this make the AF 3035 PXI RF digitizer cannot function (this instrument is like spectrum analyzer). It measure nothing even I pump signal to it. What it display is some meaningless waveform like noise floor. However, the AF3025 (this intrument is like signal generator) is working well.
I've installed the latest version of VISA: NI-VISA 4.3 - PharLap, VxWorks, Windows 2000/CE/Mobile 5/Vista x64/Vista x86/XP
I think the hardwares (NI PXI-8360 and NI trigger routing module) are already installed and can be detected by the computer as below:
But why they are not shown up in MAX? At the moment I cannot do any meaurements and it seems like the PXI have communication errors.
Pls advise what steps need to be performed in order to solve the problem. I urgently need to get the PXI system up. Appreciate if you can advise the solution ASAP!
Btw, I'm from Penang, Malaysia. Is there any technical support that I can seek in Malaysia/Singapore? If got, may I know their contact number?
Thanks.
