Problem: When I try to open a session to my PXI instrument (NI-DMM, NI-FGEN, NI-SCOPE, NI-HSDIO, NI-SWITCH) 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 PXI 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 to 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.  See KB 33A96PCW (linked below) for a detailed description of a DAQ resource descriptor.
