Configuring the NI 8252
After you have installed the NI 8252 and powered on the computer, the computer will recognize the
device and assign resources to it. Use Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), the National
Instruments configuration utility, to configure the NI 8252 for acquisition. Refer to the
Measurement &
Automation Explorer Help for NI-IMAQdx
for additional information about configuring the NI 8252.
Note
Before configuring the device in MAX, ensure that you installed the NI-IMAQdx driver
software.
