Verifying the Installation in Hardware Configuration Utility

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

  1. Open Hardware Configuration Utility.
    The PXIe-5699 appears in the system pane automatically.
  2. Record the name that Hardware Configuration Utility assigns to the PXIe-5699 or provide a custom name.
    Use this name when programming the PXIe-5699.
  3. Validate that your instrument is installed correctly: select the PXIe-5699 module in the system pane, expand the Troubleshooting area of the configuration pane, and click Self-test.
    Hardware Configuration Utility reports when it has validated the hardware setup.
