how I can examine whether the hardware was successfully installed

[dctoni]

hallo evryone,

one week ago, i got the testing set of NI and i have installed the software for the hardware (PXI-4110 , PXI-4065, PXI-GPIB), however if I want to use the DMM , I get an error message "NO DEVICE found"

is there any  possibility  to examine if the hardware was successfully installed or not

thank you in advance

Toni

Toni,

Use Measurement and Automation Explorer (AKA MAX) to examine your hardware configuration.  Under DEvices and Interface you should find a item called PXI System.  This should show you your hardware configuration including the device name.  An alternative is to open LabVIEW and drop down and Express VI for DAQ.  You should be able to browse for your PXI Chassis and DMM card.

Yes, "X" is bad.  You should find the cards under PXI instead of DAQ.  I haven't done much with PXI but I would reinstall the drivers.  If you have an DEvice Driver CD(s) I would reinstall and make sure all PXI options are enabled.
