Configuring the NI 4136/4137 in MAX
Use Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to configure your NI hardware. MAX
informs other programs about which devices reside in the system and how they are configured.
MAX is automatically installed with NI-DCPower.
1.
Launch MAX.
2.
In the configuration tree, expand
Devices and Interfaces
to see the list of installed
devices.
Installed devices appear under the name of their associated chassis.
3.
Expand your
Chassis
tree item.
MAX lists all devices installed in the chassis. Your default device names may vary.
Note
If you do not see your device listed, press <F5> to refresh the list of
installed devices. If the device is still not listed, power off the system, ensure
the device is correctly installed, and restart.
4.
Record the device identifier MAX assigns to the hardware. Use this identifier when
programming the NI 4136/4137.
5.
Self-test the device by selecting the device in the configuration tree and clicking
Self-
Test
in the MAX toolbar.
The MAX self-test performs a basic verification of hardware resources.
Testing the Safety Interlock
In order to ensure safe operation of the NI 4136/4137, periodically test the safety interlock for
proper functionality. The recommended test interval is at least once per day of continuous
usage.
