Getting Started with the cDAQ Chassis

12. Self-test your chassis in MAX by expanding the real-time controller

»Devices and 

Interfaces»Network Devices

, right-clicking 

NI cDAQ-

<model number>

, and selecting 

Self-Test

. Self-test performs a brief test to determine successful chassis installation. When 

the self-test finishes, a message indicates successful verification or if an error occurred. If 
an error occurs, refer to 

ni.com/support/daqmx

.

13. Run a Test Panel in MAX by expanding the real-time controller

»Devices and Interfaces»

Network Devices»NI cDAQ-

<model number>

, right-clicking the C Series module, and 

selecting 

Test Panels

 to open a test panel for the selected module.

If the test panel displays an error message, refer to 

ni.com/support

.

Click 

Close

 to exit the test panel.

Troubleshooting Chassis Connectivity

If your cDAQ chassis becomes disconnected from the network, try the following:

After moving the chassis to a new network, NI-DAQmx may lose connection to the chassis. 
In this case, click 

Reconnect

 to provide NI-DAQmx with the new hostname or IP address.

The cDAQ chassis icon indicates whether it is recognized and present on the network. If a 
connected chassis appears as disconnected in the configuration tree in MAX, select 

Self-Test

 or 

Reset Chassis

. If successful, the chassis icon changes to blue/grey.

Figure 1-10.
