Hello all. I have an OLD NI instrument simulator. It is so old, I am not even able to use the NI Intrument Simulator Wizard. I called in for support and the technician was most helpful however, every time I run the wizard it pops-up and alarm that reads "There was an error locating the NI Instrument Simulator. Make sure the hardware is connected to this computer and in configuration mode". I have the 38-page manual that goes to this device. Model number for simulator is #183913C-01. I am able to use NI MAX and use Open VISA Test Panel, and run commands from there. The challenge is, I must type in each and every command, every time I want to use it. I was hoping someone here is familiar with these older model simulators. I posted a question here when I first bought the unit but wasn't familiar with the operation of it. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, when it says "Make sure the hardware is in configuration mode", I have no idea what that means. There is nothing in the booklet I have that talks about configuration mode.

I am learning LabVIEW, whilst creating a project at the same time. I am currently learning how to use VISA as I am trying to simulate an actual input, to test my project. I do not currently have a DAQ device, only my laptop. Thank you

I don't actually have an instrument, at this time. My main objective is to learn to use LabVIEW software. My understanding when I purchased this simulator was that it would simulate different inputs, such as sin waves. There are sample projects that allow me to use the device, what I can't figure out is how to produce the sin wave. This sample (template) that I speak of allows me to simulate voltages, so far, coming from the simulator.

Do I have the wrong hardware to accomplish my goal? I am learning to use LabVIEW 2014, I have no prior LabVIEW experience and was hoping that this device would provide a signal in that I could use to prove my program. Thank you
