Installing PXI or CompactPCI Modules
PXI System Configuration with MAX
Configuration of the PXI system is handled through Measurement &
Automation Explorer (MAX), included on the NI Driver CD-ROM
packaged with your kit. MAX creates the
pxisys.ini
file that defines the
layout and parameters of your PXI system. After installing the software on
the NI Driver CD-ROM, the MAX icon will be present on the desktop. The
configuration steps for single or multiple chassis systems are the same.
