No physical ports DAQAssistant NI 9381

[jb4826]

Hi, I am new to NI and LabVIEW and am in the process of learning everything. I currently have the cRIO 9054 controller and two C module devices, NI 9263 and NI 9381. I am able to set up the remote device and the VI, I can control an LED with DAQ Assistant through the Analog port on 9263, but when I try to select Digital Output, I get the message "No supported Devices found."

My 'Project Explorer' tab clearly shows the digital and analog ports working. I have attached the screenshots. I have searched everywhere but couldn't get a solution.

That image CLEARLY shows you have NOT configured the NI9381 module for DAQmx.

Instead it is shown as "Scan" (Scan Engine) device…

I am sorry to bother, but how do I configure it? Could you point me to somewhere or give an idea about what exactly I should search for?
I went into NI MAX, to devices, and selected the 9381 module, but Mod2 (NI 9381) only shows Real-Time Scan (I/O Variable) and LabVIEW FPGA as the available programming modes. I am missing some steps? It's the same if I use the other ports.

When you can't select the "DAQmx" mode for that module then it doesn't support the DAQmx mode - and you need to use the ScanEngine or the FPGA.

On the other hand: when the module doesn't support DAQmx then you cannot expect the DAQAssistent to handle channels of this module!

(Usually you configure the "driver mode" of the module within the project and not with MAX…)
