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
files, 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 KnowledgeBase

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