PXIe chassis controller

[ingdb]

Hello all,

I have a PXIe chassis and want to implement a NI compatible chassis controller. The chassis shall be usable with NI tools like "NI max". As far as I know all we need to do is to write a driver and deliver some information back to NI Max (and provide a proper ini File). Unfortunately I am quite new to all this, does anyone have comments/hints/ideas where to start?

best regards

Matthias

Are you a PXIe hardware manufacturer? and make a PXIe controller?

[ingdb]

Yes, we're manufacturing back planes and want to implement such a controller.

NI provides drivers for NI chassis to appear in the OS and NI MAX. The controller does not really have any feature to show up on NI MAX; it is a fancy computer.

Thanks for your help, I am not sure if I got you right but yes, the controller is not doing much but sending some ID I think. And yes ni is providing drivers for their chassis, so I think I need to implement such a driver for our chassis. Is that what you wanted to say resp. Is that assumption correct?
