Common Questions
This appendix lists common questions related to the use of the
SCXI-1141/1142/1143.
Which version of NI-DAQ works with the SCXI-1141/1142/1143, and
how do I get the most current version of NI-DAQmx?
NI recommends that you have NI-DAQmx 8.3 or later. Visit
ni.com and
click Drivers and Updates. In the Product Line drop-down menu locate
Multifunction DAQ. Select the appropriate information for your
application in the remaining drop-down menus and click Go.
I have gone over the Verifying the SCXI-1141/1142/1143 Installation in
Software section of Chapter 1, About the SCXI-1141/1142/1143, yet I still
cannot correctly test and verify that my SCXI-1141/1142/1143 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. You may have to call or email a
technical support representative. The technical support representative often
suggests 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 Technical Support
Information document.
In NI-DAQmx, can I use channels of different measurement types in
the same task?
Yes, you can set up the channels programmatically or through the DAQ
Assistant.
Will MAX allow me to configure two SCXI-1141/1142/1143 modules
that are in the same chassis, in multiplexed mode, with two different
E/M Series DAQ devices?
No.
