can't create a simulate PXIe-4080 in max under devices and Interfaces

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.

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"
