You are correct, NI-DCPower (and other drivers supported by nimi-python) do not support remote access via VISA.
That said, you have options!
NI gRPC is one option. See https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA03q000000oxQGCAY&l=en-US for more details.
Others include using other remote calls. We have had success using rpyc as well, which is quite lightweight.
Description of issue
I have a PXIe-1075 chassis with some PXIe-4139 cards. I have connected the PXIe-1075 to my PC using a crossover ethernet cable and established an intranet between that PC and the embedded PC on the 1075.
I tried to use VISA to communicate with the PXIe card (located at, e.g.
visa://xxx.xxx.x.x/PXIyy::0::INSTR
). 'x' and 'y' are numbers.This results in the following error
Perhaps
nidcpower
does not support connecting to remote PXI cards?Steps
