Error -201057 When Referencing PXI/SCXI Combination Chassis in nidaqmxconfig Configuration File

Hardware: SCXI>>Chassis>>PXI-1010, SCXI>>Chassis>>PXI-1011, SCXI>>Chassis>>PXI-1052, SCXI>>Chassis>>PXI-1050

Problem:
Why do I receive error -201057 when trying to reference a PXI/SCXI Combination Chassis as an SCXI chassis within a custom nidaqmxconfig Configuration File?

Solution:

Error -201057 indicates that the hardware product type specified within the nidaqmxconfig Configuration File is invalid.  The proper way to specify an SCXI Chassis in a nidaqmxconfig Configuration File is to follow the product type of the PXI/SCXI combination chassis with (SCXI).  For example, to specify a PXI-1011 chassis as the SCXI chassis, use the following format when specifying the SCXI chassis product type:

SCXIChassis.ProductType = PXI-1011 (SCXI)

This is only relevant if you are writing your own nidaqmconfig Configuration File, such as when using NI-DAQmx on a Linux system.
