Solution
Ensure that the XML configuration file for your third-party device has been transferred to your real-time system.
The XML file must be placed in:
- /ni-rt/system/IndComECAT/DD/ for VxWorks and Phar Lap RT Targets.
- /var/local/natinst/IndComECAT/DD/ for NI Linux RT Targets.
Once your Real-Time system has this configuration file, it will be able to identify slaves of this type programmatically.
