Issue Details

I try to simulate a PXIe-54x3 Arbitratry Waveform Generator via the Option String of niFgen Initialize with Options or niFegn Initialize with Channels.
I always get Error -1074134944 with possible reason IVI: Insufficient location information or resource not present in the system.
 
Error -1074134944

Solution

The NI 54x3 AWG series uses a changed naming structure to differentiate between different models. Therefore, the Option String does not contain the memory size as differentiates, but the model name is followed by the channel count.
