Configuring Your PXI System using the PXI/PCI Explorer
To configure your PXI/PCI system using the
PXI/PCI Explorer
applet follow these steps:
1.

.
2.
Identify Chassis and Controllers
. After the PXI/PCI Explorer started it will scan your system for changes
and will display the current configuration. The PXI/PCI Explorer automatically detects systems that have
Marvin Test Solutions controllers and chassis. In addition, the applet detects PXI-MXI-3/4 extenders in
your system (manufactured by National Instruments). If your chassis is not shown in the explorer main
window, use the Identify Chassis/Controller commands to identify your system. Chassis and Controller
manufacturers should provide INI and driver files for their chassis and controllers to be used by these
commands.
3.
Change chassis numbers, PXI devices Legacy Slot numbering and PXI devices Alias names.
These are
optional steps to be performed if you would like your chassis to have different numbers. Legacy slots
numbers are used by older Marvin Test Solutions or VISA drivers. Alias names can provide a way to
address a PXI device using your logical name (e.g. “DIO1”). For more information regarding these
numbers see the
DioSetupInitialization
and
DioSetupInitializationVisa
functions in the DIO
Programming User’s Guide.
4.
Save you work
. PXI Explorer saves the configuration to the following files located in the Windows folder:
PXISYS.ini, PXIeSYS.ini and GxPxiSys.ini. Click on the
Save
button to save you changes. The
PXI/Explorer prompt you to save the changes if changes were made or detected (an asterisk sign ‘ *‘ in the
caption indicated changes).
