measurement & automation

[dblot]

Hello,

   I am very new to this world so as detailed as the explanation can be the better thanks. I have a DAQ system composed of the SCXI-1001, communiction module is the SCXI-1600 with the SCXI-1320 for the accessories. The SCXI-1120 is what connects them all. The SCXI-1600 talks to my computer through a USB connection. I have a couple computers in my lab which I like to use. However, it is a bit annoying switching the USB from one pc to another. Using VISA I have been able to operate other devices (remotely) using a pc that isn't directly connected to the device. Is there a way I can do the same with my DAQ?

  I have attached a jpeg showing how things look in the Measurement & Automation Explorer. As you can see VISA items are listed however the DAQ information at the top in "Devices and interfaces" is not shown in the "devices and interfaces" in the "Remote Systems" section. I don't expect to run the DAQ with multiple computers at once. I doubt that is possible, but I would like not to have to swap USB cables.

Thanks!

First, your hardware needs to be programmed via daqmx, not visa.

search for examples in the help they are there.

And if you make a server from your pc and add the correct LabVIEW software it may give you the results via the network to another computer but not as easy as visa does.

Thanks, I will be sure to give this a try.
