Configuring the NI 5684 in MAX
Use Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to configure your NI hardware. MAX
informs other programs about which devices reside in the system and how they are configured.
MAX is automatically installed with NI-568x.
1.
Launch MAX.
2.
In the configuration tree, expand
Devices and Interfaces
to see the list of installed
devices.
Note
If you do not see your device listed, press <F5> to refresh the list of
installed devices. If the device is still not listed, power off the system, ensure
the device is correctly installed, and restart.
3.
Record the device identifier MAX assigns to the hardware. Use this identifier when
programming the NI 5684.
4.
Self-test the device by selecting the device in the configuration tree and clicking
Self-Test
in the MAX toolbar.
The MAX self-test performs a basic verification of hardware resources.
