NI-DAQmx Simulated Devices
You can create NI-DAQmx simulated devices in NI-DAQmx 7.4 or later. Using NI-DAQmx simulated devices, you can try NI products in your application without the hardware. When you later acquire the hardware, you can import the NI-DAQmx simulated device configuration to the physical device using the MAX Portable Configuration Wizard. With NI-DAQmx simulated devices, you also can export a physical device configuration onto a system that does not have the physical device installed. Then, using the NI-DAQmx simulated device, you can work on your applications on a portable system and upon returning to the original system, you can import your application.

Note NI-DAQmx simulated devices cannot be included in the same task with physical devices. |
