6. Configuring and Testing in MAX
Note
When you configure your device in MAX, remember that all
SMC-based devices are configured under NI-DAQmx, and are
referred to in MAX as NI-DAQmx devices. However, after you
configure these devices in MAX, you use NI-SCOPE to program
them.
1. Launch MAX.
2. Expand
Devices and Interfaces
to see the list of installed devices. If you
are using a digitizer with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module, expand
Remote Systems
. Find your target IP address or name, expand it, and
then expand
Devices and Interfaces
.
The configuration tree lists both Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) devices
and NI-DAQmx devices.
3. If your device is not listed, press <F5> to refresh. If the device is still not
listed, repeat the steps in section
. For more
information about using MAX, refer to the help files available within
MAX.
Note
Windows Vista does not support some Traditional NI-DAQ
(Legacy) devices. Refer to the
NI-SCOPE Readme File
to determine
which operating system is compatible with your digitizer.
4. Record the device number or device name assigned by MAX. You need
this number when you program your device.
•
(Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) Devices)
Select the device to see its
properties in the configuration view. The device number appears in
the Value column. By default, the resource name for the device
is
DAQ::
n
, where
n
is the device number MAX assigned to your
device. NI-SCOPE devices that are configurable under Traditional
NI-DAQ are not supported by the LabVIEW Real-Time Module.
•
(NI-DAQmx Devices)
The assigned device name is appended to the
device in its configuration tree label. For example, after you install
the digitizer, the device configuration tree label may appear as
NI PXIe-5122:
"
Dev1
", where
Dev1
is the device name. When
you develop your application, the resource name is the device name
assigned by MAX. Only the NI-SCOPE devices that appear under
NI-DAQmx Devices are supported by the LabVIEW Real-Time
Module.
