NI recommends using Hardware Configuration Utility to perform initial hardware configuration.

  1. Open Hardware Configuration Utility.
    The PXIe-4150 should appear in the system pane automatically.
  2. Record the name Hardware Configuration Utility assigns to the PXIe-4150 or, if desired, provide a custom name to the PXIe-4150.
    Use this name when programming the PXIe-4150.
  3. Validate that your instrument is installed correctly:
    1. Select the PXIe-4150 module in the system pane and expand the Troubleshooting area of the configuration pane.
    2. Click Self-test.
    Hardware Configuration Utility reports when the hardware setup is validated.
