PCI-MXI-2 Configuration Editor
When you run the PCI-MXI-2 Configuration Editor, the screen displays
the serial number and hardware revision of the PCI-MXI-2 board in
addition to several configuration options.
The first three options are
•
Logical Address Configuration Editor
•
Device Configuration Editor
•
Bus Configuration Editor
When making changes to the PCI-MXI-2 through these editors, remember
that the changes do not take effect until you commit them by selecting the
Update Current Configuration option.
Before proceeding to a description of each field in these editors, review the
remaining four options of the PCI-MXI-2 Configuration Editor. These
options directly relate to how you can use the changes you make using the
configuration editors, which are described after the options.
Update Current Configuration
Use this option to write the configuration settings to the PCI-MXI-2
EEPROM and files used by NI-VXI. It configures the PCI-MXI-2 to be
consistent with the configuration EEPROM. Notice that some of the
configuration settings cannot take effect until you reset the machine, either
by using the reset button or by turning the power off and on again.
Record Configuration to File
With this option you can save your configuration settings to a file. Notice
that this option does not write the configuration settings to the PCI-MXI-2
configuration EEPROM.
If you want to update the PCI-MXI-2 configuration settings, use the
Update Current Configuration option instead.
Load Configuration from File
You can use this option to load your configuration settings from a file. This
action only updates the configuration settings in your editor. This does not
write the configuration settings to the PCI-MXI-2 configuration EEPROM.
To update the configuration use the Update Current Configuration
option for the changes to take effect.
