Installation and Configuration
PXI Express System Configuration with MAX
The PXI Platform Services software included with your chassis
automatically identifies your PXI Express system components to generate
a
pxiesys.ini
file. You can configure your entire PXI system and
identify PXI-1 chassis through Measurement & Automation Explorer
(MAX), included with your system controller. MAX creates the
pxiesys.ini
and
pxisys.ini
file, which define your PXI system
parameters. MAX also provides an interface to route and reserve triggers
so dynamic routing, through drivers such as DAQmx, avoids
double-driving and potentially damaging trigger lines. For more
information about routing and reserving PXI triggers, refer to

The configuration steps for single or multiple-chassis systems are the same.
