Hello kdCMC,

 

As far as I know only the SCXI-1600 USB Module is able to autodetect SCXI Modules.
This is also mentioned on page 11-12 of the following SCXI Getting Started document:
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/373236m.pdf

 

All the DAQ devices (including USB-variants like the NI USB-6361) have only an 68-pin shielded (IO) cable between the DAQ device and the SCXI chassis.
This cable does not provide possibilities for auto-detection since it basically just "transfers digital and analog signals" between SCXI chassis and DAQ device.

Is there a specific document that created confusion concerning this?

Kind Regards,
