Are NI USB-9162 Carriers supported by DAQExpress

[AndrewFMills]

I'm trying to use DAQExpress 5.1 with an NI USB-9162 Carrier and an NI-9211A thermocouple input module. The hardware doesn't appear in as a device in DAQExpress, and when I go to System Designer > Add Hardware, I get the message "Missing SystemDesigner support - National Instruments, NI USB-9211A, 013488F1, Action - Install DAQmx 20.1". DAQmx 20.1 is installed already.

It states in the DAQExpress literature that the 9211 module is supported but no mention of the USB-9162. I suspect this USB Carrier is not supported. Does anyone know if this is the case?

Hello,

Unfortunately as you suspected the NI USB-9162 isn't supported by DAQExpress, the only single slot chassis that is supported by DAQExpress is the cDAQ 9171.

Thanks,

Thanks for the confirmation.
