Installation and Configuration
The PXI Express controller automatically boots into LabVIEW RT Safe Mode when no
software is installed. LabVIEW RT Safe Mode loads with the basic real-time operating
system and automatically attempts to connect to the network using DHCP. If DHCP is not
available, it then connects to the network with a link-local IP address.
Tip
You can connect a monitor to the desktop PC to display startup messages such
as the IP address and MAC address.
2.
Open Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) on another computer in the same
subnet and expand the
Remote Systems
branch. MAX lists the PXI Express controller as
the model name of the controller followed by the MAC address (for example,
NI-PXIe-8840 00802f108562
).
Note
The other computer must have LabVIEW, LabVIEW RT, and any desired
drivers installed.
Tip
Record the PXI Express controller MAC address, located on the side of the
controller, for use in identifying the controller. The label also can be removed and
placed on the front of the controller for easier access.

Click on the appropriate PXI Express controller entry to access the
Network Settings
