SCXI Quick Start Guide
NI-DAQmx
If you are using NI-DAQmx, complete the following steps, as shown in the
figures, to configure the chassis.
1.
Select the DAQ device cabled to the communicating SCXI module
from
Chassis Communicator
. If MAX detects only one DAQ device,
the device is chosen by default, and this option is disabled.
2.
Select the module slot connected to the chassis communicator from
Communicating SCXI Module Slot
.
3.
Enter the chassis address setting in
Chassis Address
. Make sure the
setting matches the address setting on the SCXI chassis.
4.
Select whether or not to auto-detect SCXI modules. If you do not
auto-detect modules, MAX disables Communicating SCXI Module
Slot.
Caution
Auto-detecting modules may place the modules in an unknown or undesirable
state. Disconnect any connected devices for which auto-detection could present problems.
