Naming the ICsc Instruments in the System

Use Hardware Configuration Utility to create aliases for the ICsc instruments.

  • VSTs—NI recommends that you name each PXIe-5842 in your system numerically beginning with the left-most slot of Chassis 0: 5842_00, 5842_01, and so on.

    5842_00 is the master VST in your system.
