NI High-Speed Digitizers Getting Started Guide
Note
To avoid modifying existing applications that use a
Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) device number, change the assigned
NI-DAQmx device name by right-clicking on the device, selecting
Rename
, and entering the Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) device
number used in your application. For more information about
device naming conventions, refer to the
niScope_init
function or
the niScope Initialize VI at
NI High-Speed Digitizers Help»

.
5. Perform a self-test on the device to verify installation.
(Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy))
Right-click the device, select
Properties
,
and click
Test Resources
.
(NI-DAQmx)
Right-click the device and select

6. Run the test panels on the device to verify the signal.
a. Connect a signal to the digitizer and select the appropriate device
parameters for this signal such as range, input limits, sample rate, and
sample mode.
b. Access the test panel.
•
(Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy))
Click
Run Test Panels
in the
Properties window.
•
(NI-DAQmx)
Right-click the device and select
Test Panels
.
Notes
For both types of devices, you can enable triggering by

Advanced
button on the test panel.
All NI digitizers have self-calibration capabilities. You can access
this feature for all NI digitizers programmatically with NI-SCOPE
and your ADE, or you can use the Scope SFP. However, only
NI-DAQmx devices (SMC-based devices) can be self-calibrated
using MAX.
7. Exit MAX when you have finished configuring and testing the digitizer.
