Issue Details

I can successfully detect PXI RT target at host PC's in MAX, but there's one additional unexpected component is shown in MAX as "Ghost" device whose name is "/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:43:00.0". How can I fix this?

Solution

The PXIe-8842 has a Built-in GPIB port, and it is necessary to install the 488.2 driver to be able to recognize the port. After installing the driver, the port was recognized correctly.
