From what I understand about USB, I don't think you can do that.

 

The USB ports on the PXI controller are host ports and as such can't be used as device ports. A keyboard would be a HID device class. Maybe there is some sort of HID emulator that could be placed between the PXI and your UUT that is expecting a USB keyboard...

Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T
