NI Switch Executive Import Errors

[oldTallGuy]

I can successfully configure a Virtual Device for three Pickering PXI microwave/RF switch cards. Everything validates. I then export it to Excel and then import it and I now have four broken routes (see SpecAnaInFromRF_FWD_A, B, C, D). But the route is fine if I copy the route from Excel and paste them into the broken Virtual Device. I have included the exported Excel file.

Exporting to XML corrects three of the routes but FWD_A is still broken.

Any Ideas?

Switch Executive 3.6

NI MAX 14.0.0f0

Hi @oldTallGuy,

What hardware are you using? Also if you could post some screenshots that would really help.

[oldTallGuy]

The hardware is described in the attached spread sheet from my first post(IVI Devices tab). You can install the drivers for the PXI relay cards from here: http://downloads.pickeringtest.info/downloads/drivers/IVI/

Import the spreadsheet into Switch Executive and look for the route labeled 'SpecAnaInFromRF_FWD_A' it will be broken with an error message (see attached screen shot).

Are these the devices you are using? I am trying to figure out how to replicate this as closely as possible.

A3_Pick_4xSPDT

A4_Pick_2xSP4T

A7_Pick_1xSP6T

If there is a particular serial of model number for the hardware that would really help.

I apologize if I have made this difficult. I am using:

40-780A-544 = A3_Pick_4xSPDT

40-784A-142 = A4_Pick_2xSP4T

40-784A-041 = A7_Pick_1xSP6T

Install the Pickering IVI driver. Create logical names as shown in the attached screen shots (SS_1,SS_2, SS_3). And import the spreadsheet from the first post.

Hi @oldTallGuy,

I am still a little confused as to which of these drivers need to be installed? *See attached image*

[oldTallGuy]

Install the IVI-C driver.
