MAX lists all modules installed in the chassis. Your default names may vary.

Note

 If you do not see your module listed, press <F5> to refresh the

list of installed modules. If the module is still not listed, power off the

system, ensure the module is correctly installed, and restart.

4. Record the identifier MAX assigns to the hardware. Use this identifier when

programming the PXIe-4163.

5. Self-test the hardware by selecting the item in the configuration tree and

clicking 

Self-Test

 in the MAX toolbar.

The MAX self-test performs a basic verification of hardware resources.

What Should I Do if the PXIe-4163 Fails the Self-Test?

Self-Calibrating the PXIe-4163

Self-calibration adjusts the PXIe-4163 for variations in the module environment.

Perform a complete self-calibration after the first time you install the PXIe-4163.

1. Install the PXIe-4163 and let it warm up for 30 minutes.

Note

 Warm up begins when the PXI Express chassis has been

powered on and the operating system has completely loaded.

2. Self-calibrate the PXIe-4163 by clicking the 

Self-Calibrate

 button in MAX or

calling niDCPower Cal Self Calibrate or niDCPower_CalSelfCalibrate.

The PXIe-4163 modules are externally calibrated at the factory but you should

perform a self-calibration in all of the following situations:

After first installing the PXIe-4163 in a chassis

After any module that is in the same chassis as the PXIe-4163 is installed,

uninstalled, or moved
