Additional InformationPCI stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect and is an industry standard bus for attaching peripheral devices to a computer. The PCI Simple Communications Controller is a generic label that Windows gives to installed PCI boards in Device Manager when the drivers for the device are not installed. Many pieces of NI hardware use PCI (or PCIe) communication for connection and communication protocols and as a result may show up in this manner when appropriate drivers are not used on the system. Please note that the PCILookup tool is an external tool used as a reference here, and other tools may be available to lookup Vendor and Device IDs in a similar manner.
