PXIe-7846 Target in LabVIEW FPGA

[Paul_Knight_Lockheed_Mart]

We currently have a LabVIEW FPGA project using a cRIO-9081 with multiple NI-9201 and NI-9485 modules.  We are starting a new project using a PXIe-1082 and PXIe-7846 Multifunctional Reconfigurable I/O Module.  I wanted to start developing the code before the hardware is purchase.  However, I don't see the PXIe-7846 in the "Add Targets and Devices on Networked Computer/Device" tab.  There is a USB-7846R and USB-7846R OEM.

I am missing a Driver?  How do I add the PXIe-7846 to the LabVIEW project.

You probably have to add a simulated PXIe chassis within MAX. On the other side, why not start with the USB-Target. It's the same FPGA chip so transfering all code later to the PXIe card shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks, I can use the USB version and get the code done.
