NI-DMM Simulated Devices

Hardware: Modular Instruments>>Digital Multimeters (DMM)

Problem:
I would like to program using the NI-DMM driver but do not yet have the hardware. How can I simulate the device so that I can test my programming?

Solution:
The NI-DMM driver allows you to simulate a device so that you can run your application without the hardware present.

To simulate a digital multimeter, follow these steps:

  1. Initialize the NI-DMM task with an niDMM Initialize with Options.
  2. Create a control on the Options String.
  3. Change the Simulate=0 section to Simulate=1.

See the screenshot below for an example of this code.
