Configuring the Hardware in MAX

Use Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to configure your NI hardware. MAX informs other programs about which NI hardware products are in the system and how they are configured. MAX is automatically installed with NI LabVIEW Instrument Design Libraries for Vector Signal Transceivers.
  1. Launch MAX.
  2. In the configuration tree, expand Devices and Interfaces to see the list of installed NI hardware.
    MAX lists all installed modules under the name of their associated chassis.
  3. Expand your Chassis tree item.
    PXIe-5840 devices appear as NI-RIO modules in the list. The default names of your device may vary.
    Note If your module is not listed, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this document.
  4. Record the identifier MAX assigns to the hardware. Use this identifier when programming the PXIe-5840.
    Notice When you install, uninstall, or move an NI-RIO module 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 modules in MAX, and, if necessary, make changes to your software and documentation.
