Max and Automation will not recognize my scxi portion of my PXI-1050 chassis

I have a PXI-1050 chassis with a PXI-8187 controller.  As most of you know the chassis is a PXI/SCXI combo chassis.  When I go to measurement and autoation explorer using NI-DAQ 6.9.3, and whatever version of explorer that comes with that,  All my devices are listed, the PXI-6071, PXI-6030 and 31 etc.  But when I right click on the device and create a new device the option I have to use is PXI-1010 chassis, becuase there is no option for a PXI-1050.  The entry is created but it will always fail the self check.  "Unable to test chassis at this time".  Anyone familliar with this problem?  I looked on NI.com to find a PXISYS.ini file for this chassis but with no luck. 
Thanks
Bill

Bill,
The PXI-1050 must be configured as a PXI-1010 chassis in Traditional DAQ. The PXI-1010 and PXI-1011 are legacy versions of the PXI-1050 and PXI-1052 chassis, respectively, but Traditional (Legacy) NI-DAQ only has native support for the legacy version of the chassis. But the two chassis are virtually the same.
Also you might consider upgrading to the newer version of the Traditional DAQ driver. It can be downloaded for free by going to www.ni.com and then clicking on Drivers and Updates. Currently the newest version is 7.4.2.
Have a great day,
Brian P.
