Manually Adding Modules
If you did not auto-detect your SCXI modules, you must add each of your
modules separately. If you are still in the Chassis Configuration window,
select No under Auto-Detect modules and click Finish. Use the following
steps to manually add modules:
1.
Display the list of devices and interfaces by clicking the + next to the
Devices and Interfaces icon.
2.
Locate the SCXI chassis in the list. Display the list of modules in the
chassis by clicking the + next to the Chassis icon.
3.
Right-click the appropriate installation slot and click Insert.
4.
Select the module installed in that slot and click Next. If the
appropriate module name does not appear on the list, you may be using
the incorrect version of NI-DAQ. See Appendix B,
, for information on getting the latest version of NI-DAQ.
5.
Configure your module as follows:
a.
If the selected module is connected to a National Instruments
DAQ device, select that device by using the Connected to control.
If it is not, select none. If you want this DAQ device to control the
chassis, confirm that there is a check in the checkbox labeled This
device will control the chassis.
b.
Select the multiplexed scanning mode for your SCXI-1104/C by
using the Operating Mode control. Click Next.
c.
Review the gain and filter settings for all channels on the
SCXI-1104/C. Click Next.
d.
Select the accessory you are using with this module. When you
have completed configuration, click Finish.
If you need to manually install more SCXI-1104/C modules in your
chassis, repeat steps 3 through 5 to configure each module.
Your SCXI chassis and SCXI module(s) should now be configured
properly. If you need to change your module configuration, see the next
section,
. If your configuration is complete,
test the system as described in
ensure your SCXI system is communicating properly with the DAQ device.
