What Should I Do if the Instrument Does Not
Initialize?
Failure to initialize may indicate a problem with module interconnections or with
MAX.
If the niRFSA Initialize VI or niRFSG Initialize VI returns an error and the PXIe-5842
fails to initialize, complete the following steps:
1. Power
off
the system.
2. Inspect all PXIe-5842 front panel cables and, if there are no apparent issues,
reconnect cables securely, according to the interconnection procedure for
your instrument.
3. Power on your system and run the MAX configuration and intermediate self-
test procedures.
