PCIe 8361 Drivers

[BryanEspi]

Hi,

I am using currently a NI PCIe 8361 card with a PXIe 1073 chassis for a project, but the NI Max does not recognize neither the PXIe cards in the chassis nor the PCIe card. I do not have the drivers for the PCIe card. Does anyone know where I can find the driver? I was finding in the NI Page but I cant find them.

Thank you in advance.

Bryan Espinoza.

From the manual, it looks like you don't have to install any driver:

MXI-Express x1 is based on PCI Express technology, using PCI Express switches and/or bridges to enable control of a PXI or PXI Express chassis from a PC or laptop with an available PCI, PCI Express, or ExpressCard slot. This technology will be recognized as a collection of PCI-to-PCI bridges to the operating system, and should automatically have CompactPCI support without any additional software.

However, it is recommended to install PXI Platform Services as Note in the manual:

For full PXI/PXI Express functionality such as chassis and controller identification, trigger routing, and slot detection, install the PXI Platform Services software included with your kit.
