Is it possible to debug a LV progr. for an NI-6602 in simulation mode?

Is it possible to use the DAQmx Create Channel(CI-Count Edges).vi without actually having the PXI-6602 hardware installed in my PC, i.e. use a simulation driver?

Yes, you can simulate that device through Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). 

 

Select NI-DAQmx Simulated Device by right-clicking on NI-DAQmx Devices >> Create new NI-DAQmx Device.  A new window will be displayed and you can select the PXI-6602 through the TIO Series (Counter Timer) category. 

 

All of the data will be meaningless.  Simulated devices are used to help develop software without physically having the hardware.

Hi Rob,
 
Thanks for the feedback, I was able to use the simulated instrument off-line.
 
Regards,
Harry.
