6.
Before operating the device, install all filler panels. Missing filler panels disrupt the
necessary air circulation in the PC.
7.
Replace the PC cover.
8.
Plug in and power on the PC.
Maintaining PCI Systems
Inspect the onboard fan on a regular basis to prevent fan blockage and ensure efficient air
circulation. Cleaning frequency depends on the amount of use and the operating environment.
6. Configuring and Testing in MAX
To configure and test the NI digital waveform generator/analyzer in MAX, complete the
following steps:
1.
Launch MAX to configure and test the digital waveform generator/analyzer. MAX should
automatically detect the device you installed.
2.
Expand
Devices and Interfaces
.
If you are using an NI digital waveform generator/analyzer with the LabVIEW Real-Time
Module, expand
Remote Systems
. Find your target IP address or name, expand it, and then
expand
Devices and Interfaces
.
3.
Check that your device appears under
Devices and Interfaces
.
Note
If your device does not appear under
Devices and Interfaces
, MAX did not
detect the device, so you might need to refresh MAX by selecting
File»Refresh
from
the MAX menu or pressing <F5>.
4.
You can perform a self-test on devices listed under
Devices and Interfaces
. The self-test
ensures that the device is installed correctly and can communicate with NI-HSDIO. To
perform a self-test, complete the following steps:
a.
Right-click the device you want to test.
b.
Select
Self-Test
, shown in Figure 5.
