Configuring the Hardware in MAX
Use Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to configure your National Instruments
hardware. MAX informs other programs about which devices reside in the system and how
they are configured. MAX is automatically installed with the instrument design libraries and
NI-SCOPE.
1.
Launch MAX by navigating to
Start
»
All Programs
»
National Instruments
»
NI MAX
.
2.
In the Configuration pane, expand
Devices and Interfaces
to see the list of installed
devices. Installed devices appear under the name of their associated chassis.
3.
Expand your
Chassis
tree item.
MAX lists all devices installed in the chassis. PXIe-5170/5171 devices appear as NI-RIO
devices in the list. Your default device names may vary.
Note
If you do not see your hardware listed, refer to the
Troubleshooting
section of this document.
4.
Record the device identifier MAX assigns to the hardware. Use this identifier when
programming the PXIe-5170/5171.
Caution
When you install, uninstall, or move an NI-RIO device in your
system, resource identification of your NI-RIO devices may change. Whenever
any of these changes occur, verify resource identification of all your NI-RIO
devices in MAX, and, if necessary, make changes to your software and
documentation.
Self-Calibration
Self-calibration adjusts the PXIe-5170/5171 for variations in the module environment.
Perform a complete self-calibration after first installing your module and letting it warm up for
15 minutes.
Note
Warm-up begins after the chassis is powered, the device is recognized by the
host, and the device is configured using the instrument design libraries or
NI-SCOPE. Running an included sample project or running self-calibration using
NI MAX will configure the device and start warm-up.
The PXIe-5170/5171 modules are externally calibrated at the factory; however, you should
perform a self-calibration in any of the following situations:
