Drivers for PCI 6025E (PCI 8331)

[Vinc11]

Dear All,

I am trying to install drivers for an instrument which has PCI 8331 in the connected computer. 

I have tried NI-DAQmx or NI-DAQ, but Measurement & Automation Explorer still can't find the divice.

Also when I open the software for the instrument, it shows PCI 6025E is not found. 

I would appricate if you could give me any suggestion. Thanks!

Are you sure it is not a PXI-6025E you are trying to connect to?  If not, I do not see what the MXI-4 connection has to do with anything.

Is the PXI chassis turned on and connecter BEFORE you turn on the computer?  That is a requirement for PXI.  Since it is an extension of PCI, the discovery is done at bootup.

Hello crossrulz, 

Thank you for the quick reply. 

You are right it is PXI-6025E. However it still can't find the device even if I turned on the instrument first. 

Also, Windows shows it found a new PCI hardware and requires installing the driver. But I already installed NI-DAQmx. Is this wrong?

You might want to try installing the PXI Platform Services as well.  I thought it was included with DAQmx, but possibly not.

Thanks! I just tried this. I had to install an old version because the OS is XP sp1. 

I got something on the device list, but it shows communication is not available, as shown in the first figure attached.

According to the doc, I should get something like shown in the second figure.

Do I still miss some other drivers?
