Problem: When I try to open a session to my PXI instrument (NI-DMM, NI-FGEN, NI-SCOPE, NI-HSDIO, NI-SWITCH, NI-DCPower) or try to Validate my Virtual Device in NI Switch Executive, I get one of the following errors. Why is this?
Solution: These errors usually occur when you address the instrument with a VISA resource descriptor (e.g. PXI1::15::INSTR) instead of a DAQ resource descriptor (e.g., DAQ::1::INSTR for Traditional DAQ, Dev1 or PXI1Slot1 for DAQmx). Since the NI Modular Instrument drivers use NI-DAQ to detect and communicate with the boards, you must use the DAQ descriptor to open a session to them with these drivers. For NI Switch Executive, the resource descriptor is in the IVI Driver Session under the Hardware tab. Double click on the Resource Descriptor to change it. Note: The dropdown menu will only display the VISA resource descriptor, and that the DAQ resource descriptor will need to be manually entered. Refer to the "Hardware Asset" section of the Measurement and Automation Explorer Help for valid resource descriptor options. The help can be accessed within Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) under Help»MAX Help. Also, see KB 33A96PCW (linked below) for a detailed description of a DAQ resource descriptor.
