I am trying to simulate a PXIe-4080 Digital Multimeter in MAX. I go to Devices and Interfaces->create new-> Simulated NI-DAQmx Device or Modular Instrument. When i look under Digital Multimeters the 4070 is there but no 4080. Anyone know how to get that installed I am currently running LV 2015sp1 and installed the NI-DMM updates so i have MAX Version 16.0.0f0
Thanks

Hi bcat,
The PXIe 4080 was released just over a year ago. It is likely that they have not been added to the simulation hardware in NI MAX yet.

Still an issue.

Though you cannot create a simulated device in NI-MAX, you can pass an option string to Initialize VI to simulate the DMM as per this article - https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/ni-dmm/page/simulating-ni-digital-multimeters.html
In short, you need to pass the following as option string,
"Simulate=1,DriverSetup=Model:4080; BoardType:PXIe"
