Common Questions
This appendix lists common questions related to the use of the
SCXI-1521/B.
Which version of NI-DAQ works with the SCXI-1521/B, and how do I
get the most current version of NI-DAQ?
You must have NI-DAQmx 7.3 or later. Go to
ni.com
and click
Download
Software
. Next click
Drivers and Updates
. In the search field enter
NI-DAQ
to find the latest version of NI-DAQ for your operating system.
I have gone over the
Verifying and Self-Testing the Installation
section of
Chapter 1,
, yet I still cannot correctly test and
verify that my SCXI-1521/B is working. What should I do now?
Unfortunately, there is always the chance that one or more components in
the system are not operating correctly that requires you to call or email a
technical support representative who can often suggest additional
troubleshooting measures. If requesting technical support by phone, have
the system nearby so you can try these measures immediately. NI contact
information is listed in the
Signal Conditioning Technical Support
Information
document.
In NI-DAQmx, can I use channels of different measurement types in
the same task?
Yes. You can create channels of various measurement types
programmatically in your application using
create channel
. With
NI-DAQmx 7.3 or later, you can create a task in MAX that has multiple
measurement types.
Will MAX allow me to configure two SCXI-1521/B modules that are in
the same chassis in the multiplexed mode with two different E/M Series
DAQ devices?
No.
