the This device will control the chassis checkbox is 
automatically deselected. Click Next.

c.

Select the appropriate gain, filter, and current source settings for 
each channel on the SCXI-1530/1531. Click Next.

If you need to manually install more SCXI-1530/1531 modules in your 
chassis, repeat steps 3 through 5 to configure each module.

Configuring the SCXI-1530/1531

To configure your SCXI-1530/1531 after auto-detection or to alter your 
original configuration selections, use the Measurement & Automation 
Explorer configuration utility. Perform the following steps to configure 
your SCXI-1530/1531:

1.

Double-click the Measurement & Automation Explorer icon on 
your desktop.

2.

Click + next to the Devices and Interfaces icon to display the list of 
installed devices and interfaces.

3.

Locate the SCXI chassis in the list. Click + next to the Chassis icon to 
display the list of modules in the chassis.

4.

Right-click the SCXI-1530/1531 module to configure and select 
Properties. Click the General tab. 

a.

If the module you are configuring is connected to a National 
Instruments DAQ device, select that device using the Connected 
to
 control. If you want this DAQ device to control the chassis, a 
check should be next to This device will control the chassis. 
If the module you are configuring is not connected to a National 
Instruments DAQ device, select none.

b.

Select the appropriate mode for your SCXI-1530/1531 by using 
the Operating Mode control. If parallel mode is selected, the 
checkbox labeled This device will control the chassis is 
deselected automatically.

c.

Click the Channel tab. Select the appropriate gain, filter, current 
excitation, and current source settings for each channel on the 
SCXI-1530/1531. Refer to Chapter 2, 

Using the SCXI-1530/1531

 

for a description of each setting.

Your SCXI chassis and SCXI module(s) should now be configured 
properly. You should now test the system in the appropriate section that 
follows to ensure that your SCXI system is communicating properly with 
the DAQ device.
