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. You must use NI-DAQ 6.6 or later.
5. When configuring your module, 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.
If you need to manually install more SCXI-1112 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 make changes in your module configuration, see
the next section, Configuring the SCXI-1112, later in this chapter. If your
configuration is complete, test the system as described in
later in this chapter to ensure that your SCXI system is
communicating with the DAQ device.
Configuring the SCXI-1112
To configure your SCXI-1112 after auto-detection, or to alter your original
configuration selections, you must use Measurement & Automation
Explorer. Perform the following steps to configure your SCXI-1112:
1. Double-click the Measurement & Automation Explorer icon on
your desktop.
2. Click the + next to the Devices and Interfaces icon.
3. Locate the SCXI chassis in the list. Display the list of modules in the
chassis by clicking the + next to the Chassis icon.
4. Right-click on the SCXI-1112 module you want to configure and
select Properties. Click on the General tab. If the module you are
configuring is connected to a National Instruments DAQ device, select
the cabled device by using the Connected to control. 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. If the module
you are configuring is not connected to a National Instruments DAQ
device, select none.
Your SCXI chassis and SCXI module(s) should now be configured
properly. Read the
section to ensure that your SCXI
system is communicating with the DAQ device.
