HI........

I want to configure one PXI-1042Q chassis with PXI-8331 controller.I have connected 2 Digital I\O card (PXI-6515) and 1 Digital I\O card(PXI-6514) to this chassis. And I have connected this Chassis to my PC with serial cabel (NI standard Cable) on COM 1 Of my PC. But the problem is when i open NI Measurment and Automation explorer it dose not detect eithre chassi or any I\O card.

I have installed NI platform services version 4.6.1.

One obsrevation is RX led ON Chassi and TX Led ON PC dose not glow.

PLease Guide me step by step configuration.

 

Thanks

Pravin.

PBL,

 

The PXI-8331 isn't a serial interface even though the connector looks like it, so it shouldn't be connected to COM1.  It will only work when connected to a PCI-8331 in your host PC.  The cable needs to be a MXI-4 cable, such as 190957-03, not a serial cable.

 

If that's what you're doing, please report the LEDs on both of the cards.

Thank You Robert!

I Didn't want to say COM port, Its is the port of PCI 8331 Card and I have connected the system in the manner you said.

Mean time you replied this post I have Got conversation with NI engineer over Phone, He have checked system remotly and suggested to reinstall Software and NI Drivers. So I am Doing that. and Thanks for your Response.I had posted the query incorrectly. SOrry for that 😄

Thanks,

Pravin
