The good folks at NatInst Tech support were able to help on this one.
I had to move the SCXI-1200 to the first slot in the SCXI-1000 chassis
and then use a parallel port connection to the computer. I am not
using the PCI-1200 card. The SCXI-1140 was moved to slot 4. Now
everything works (except I had to add another PP to my computer.
Thanks.
