Device not shown

Dear All,

 

We have here a PXIe-1078 PXI-Chassis with five cards (see NI MAX screen shot).

 

I want to use/control the PXIe-5172 A/D-Card with a C++ program and the DAQmx c library.
I use: "...Shared/ExternalCompilerSupport/C/lib64/msvc/NIDAQmx.lib"
and "...Shared\ExternalCompilerSupport\C\include"
#include <NIDAQmx.h>

 

I just use the command "DAQmxGetSysDevNames" to show the available devices.


But there I only see the SimDev1 and the Timing I/O card in the last slot (see screen shot).
So I don't get access to the A/D-Card. The SimDev1 works with reading from a voltage channel.

We have another separate PXI-Chassis here with various Cards. And it's the same issue here. Not all cards are shown.

 

As I don't get any error and actually one device in the pxi chassis is shown, this looks pretty strange to me.
Can anybody help me? Any idea what's goes wrong? Do you need more information?

 

Thank you.

 

Kind regards,

Gerhard

Hi,

 

I couldn't see the availability of the NI-SCOPE driver in the screenshot.

NI-SCOPE provides programming interfaces, documentation, and examples for the following application development environments:

  • LabVIEW
  • LabWindows™/CVI™
  • Measurement Studio
  • Microsoft Visual C/C++
  • .NET (C# and VB.NET)

Creating an Application with Microsoft Visual C and C++ - NI High-Speed Digitizers (NI-SCOPE 16.1) H... could be useful.
