I am setting up a fiber optic connection between my workstation and PXI chassis with 8335 cards.
My workstation has WIN 7 64 bits OS with current PCI-8335 card installed.
Per recommendation by NI rep few days back, we installed driver “PXI Platform services 15.1” on my workstation.
After installation, windows does not recognize the card showing ”windows does not have a driver associated with your device” from Device Manager.
We believe it is a driver issue, but not sure if this is a Windows 7 issue or a 64 bit causing it and would appreciate any feedback or suggestions.
However, we noticed that both LED indicators (PWR & LNK) on both cards turn green which means to me that power is up and link established.
I’ve read some discussions mentioned those fiber optic card may not need a driver.
I just wonder if there is an application able to run the test to proof the communication between those two 8335 cards works?
Without testing it, I would have to spend more time on digging the right driver for those obsolete MXI-3 cards.
Thank you in advance for your help.
