Exercising a Simulated PXI-6529

[SoftwareD3WD]

Summary:  Attempting to use C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\DotNET4.5\Digital\Generate Values\WriteDigChan\CS or C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\DotNET4.5\Digital\Generate Values\WriteDigPort\CS to access a simulated PXI-6529 results in error -200012 "Specified physical channel does not support digital output."

Steps to recreate:

• Open NI-MAX
• Right click on "Devices and Interfaces"
• Select "Create New..." from the context menu
• Select "Simulated NI-DAQmx Device or Modular Instrument" from the "Create New..." dialog
• Click the "Finish" button
• Type "6529" in the "Create Simulated NI-DAQmx Device" dialog and select the resulting "PXI-6529" entry
• Click the "OK" button
• Click "Reset" and observe "The device was reset successfully"
• Click "Self-Test" and observe "The self test completed successfully"
• Click "Test Panels..." to reveal test panel.  Note that all configuration buttons are disabled.
• In NI-MAX, click "Settings" tab and note "Name" (in my case, it's "PXI1Slot2")
• Make a copy of C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\DotNET4.5\Digital\Generate Values\WriteDigChan\CS and open in Visual Studio
• Build and run WriteDigChan
• In the WriteDigChan "Lines" combobox, replace "Dev1" with the "Name" copied from the simulated PXI-6529 "Settings" tab in NI-MAX.  For me, this results in "PXI1Slot2/Port0/line0:7"
• Click the "Write" button on the WriteDigChan dialog and observe a MessageBox reporting error -200012 "Specified physical channel does not support digital output."

Does this example work for anyone else?  Am I even using example code that should work?

Any advice is very much appreciated.
