Verify Components
The Verify Components operation detects test system components discoverable by the Test System Maintenance Software and compares the results to the system configuration file to generate a list of test system components.

Configure COM port bindings to be consistent with your system design.
- Renaming Components
Component names must match those present in your system configuration file. Test System Maintenance Software operations may not run properly if the names do not match. For example, if you reset the NI MAX database or manually change a resource name or alias from the default NI designated name, Test System Maintenance Software may not recognize a component. The Renaming Components setting ensures test system component names match the names specified in the system configuration file. You must run the Verify Components operation after enabling this setting for the changes to take effect.
- Configuring Switch Terminal Blocks and Topologies
Switch terminal blocks delivered with NI systems are configured to associate with the switch modules specified in the system design. Some NI switch terminal blocks used with NI PXI switches cannot be detected by software. For example, the TB-2640B switch terminal block used with the PXIe-2532B switch module cannot be detected by software. Test System Maintenance Software may not operate correctly if you alter the configurations of these undetectable switch terminal blocks in NI MAX. Enabling Configuring Switch Terminal Blocks and Topologies ensures that the configuration of these switch terminal blocks matches the original system design.
