NI Scope Sorf Front Panel will not detect NI PXI-5122

Hello,

I am trying to use NI Scope Soft Front Panel 2.7f0 to acquire simple waveforms; however it will not detect my NI PXI-5122. I have confirmed that the digitizer works under MAX 4.2.1 and can see waveforms under the test panel. I have installed NI Scope 3.3.1 on my machine and have updated the driver on the PXI to version 3.3.1. Any ideas on what is wrong?

It is unclear from your post whether or not the 5122 is on the same physical device as you are running the soft front panel (SFP).  The SFP only works on local devices.  It does not have the capability to attach to RT or remote systems (MAX does).  However, if you are running Windows on your PXI controller or are using MXI to control the chassis, there is another issue.

I was trying to NI Scope on my computer which is connected to the PXI via crossover cable. As you said this will not work. LabView 8.2 detects the digitizer with no problem. Thanks for the info!
