I am attemting to install SI0C33DSP Sheldon card. It doesn't appear in devices and interface folder of MAX. Rather it exists under IVI Instruments>>Devices. How would I configure it?

Hi Panesar

I don't know your card, but you'll see only NI boards under devices & interfaces.Third party boards are not detected in MAX. The reason because you are seeing the card under IVI instruments is because you have probably installed an IVI driver for this board. Check the attached link. You'll find some useful informations on how to configure your IVI system in MAX and how to use it with LV.

Hi Luca,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Actually I am using SI-C33DSP board supplied by Sheldon Instruments. SI0C33DSP printed by mistake. I will appreciate for your quick reply about configuring method for this board.

Hi Panesar

I had a short look at the website which is describing your board (http://www.sheldoninst.com/c33pci.html). I've seen that they offer some Software which supports LV. Copied from the Website: "Extensive QuVIEW DSP-resident libraries for LabVIEW, including examples for real time acquisition, signal processing, and control." Have you tried working with this libraries? Unfortunately I have no experience with this board. I would recommend to read the manual (probably you've already done that) of the board. There should be written how to configure the board. Try asking their support too. Almost every IVI compatible driver has an "getting started.vi". Start with it!

That's all I can offer
