I have a project to which I want to add my LabVIEW RT target, which is a PXIe-8840 quad core computer. However, when I right-click on my computer, select the radio button "New target or device" and scroll down, my machine isn't available. I've installed the latest versions of cRIO and PXI platform services: ni-compactrio-device-drivers_19.1_suite_online.exe, and ni-pxiplatformservices_19.0_online.exe. Nothing useful was added for me. The target isn't connected to my machine (and never will be), I just want to be able to select it so I can develop code for it. I can't find where I would download target images nor what software it would/should be included with.
Here's a screenshot of the area where the target should be located but clearly isn't.
Oddly, my device doesn't even appear on the listing in this page.

I feel like I'm being gaslighted by NI .
Any help would be appreciated.
