RIO or PCI Device Doesn't Show Up in NI Device Monitor

Hardware

  • Multifunction I/O Device

Software

  • Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX)

Issue Details

  • I have a PCIe card, and it shows up in NI MAX and in Windows Device Manager, but it doesn't show up in NI Device Monitor.
  • I have a USB RIO, and it shows up in NI MAX, but it doesn't show up in NI Device Monitor. When I open NI Device Monitor it says:

No NI devices detected
Plug in a supported NI device to display it here.

Solution

This is probably an expected behavior, NI Device Monitor only shows USB DAQ devices, so PCI cards and USB RIOs are not expected to show up.
