Configuring 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-SCOPE .
1.
Launch MAX.
2.
In the configuration tree, double-click
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 5622.
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.
6.
Run the test panels on the device to verify the signal.
a)
To access the test panels, right-click the device and select
Test Panels
. The
NI-SCOPE Soft Front Panel (SFP) launches automatically.
b)
Complete one of the following steps to connect a signal to the device:
•
Connect an external signal and click
Auto
or select the appropriate device
parameters for the signal.
•
Connect a cable from PFI 1 to an input channel and select
Utility
»
Probe
Compensation
from the SFP menu.
Note
The NI 5622 has self-calibration capabilities, which you can access
programmatically with NI-SCOPE and your ADE, or interactively with
NI-SCOPE SFP or MAX.
