NI-9401 not available in "NI-DAQmx Simulated Devices" list: how to simulate it?

I'd like to simulate the NI-9401 (USB), but it's not available in "Simulated NI-DAQmx Device ..." list in the "Measurement & Automation Explorer" application (LabVIEW 2011 evaluation, Windows 7, 64-bit installation).

 

The 9421 and 9472 are available.  Would it be sufficient to set up the 9472 as a stand-in for the 9401? (I only need to simulate digital output for the control of external devices like a shutter.)

 

 

Any suggestions?

I may have solved my problem.  I just discovered that I can configure the cDAQ 9174 chassis (right-click on the simulated chassis item, select the "Configure Simulate cDAQ Chassis ..." submenu) with the desired modules, one of them being the 9401.
