Configuring the NI 6591R in MAX
Use Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to configure your National Instruments
hardware. MAX informs other programs about which devices reside in the system and how
they are configured. MAX is automatically installed with NI LabVIEW Instrument Design
Libraries for High Speed Serial Instruments.
1.
Launch MAX by navigating to Start»All Programs»National Instruments»NI MAX or
by clicking the NI MAX desktop icon.
2.
In the Configuration pane, double-click Devices and Interfaces to see the list of installed
devices. Installed devices appear under the name of their associated chassis.
3.
Expand your Chassis tree item. MAX lists all devices installed in the chassis. Your
default device names may vary.
Note
If you do not see your device listed, press
installed devices. If the device is still not listed, power off the system, ensure
the device is correctly installed, and restart.
4.
Record the device identifier MAX assigns to the hardware. Use this identifier when
programming the NI 6591R.
5.
Close MAX.
