9.
Raise the injector/ejector handle to latch the module into the chassis. The front panel of the
NI PXIe-4464 should be even with the front panel of the chassis.
10. Tighten the top and bottom module mounting screws, shown in Figure 2, to 0.31 N · m
(2.7 lb · in.) on the top and bottom of the module front panel to secure the NI PXIe-4464 to
the chassis.
Note
Tightening the top and bottom mounting screws increases mechanical
stability and also serves to electrically connect the front panel to the chassis, which
can improve the signal quality and electromagnetic performance.
11. Power on the chassis.
Configure the Hardware in MAX
Use Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to configure your National Instruments
hardware. MAX informs other programs about which devices reside in the system and how they
are configured. MAX is automatically installed with NI-DAQmx.
1.
Launch MAX.
2.
In the Configuration pane, expand
Devices and Interfaces
to see a list of installed devices.
Installed devices appear under the name of their associated chassis.
3.
Expand your
Chassis
tree item.
Note
MAX lists all devices installed in the chassis. Your default device names may
vary.
4.
Record the device identifier MAX uses to identify the hardware. Use this identifier when
programming the NI PXIe-4464.
