4. Record the device number or device name assigned to the DMM. You need this when programming
the DMM.
•
(NI-DAQmx devices) The assigned device name is appended to the DMM in its configuration
tree label. For example, after installing the NI PXI-4070, the device configuration tree label
may appear as
NI PXI-4070: " Dev1 ", where Dev1 is the device name that MAX assigned
to the DMM. When developing your application, the resource name for the DMM is this
device name.
• (Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) devices) Select the DMM to see its properties in the configuration
view. The device number appears in the Values column. When developing your application,
the resource name for the DMM is
DAQ:: n , where n is the device number MAX assigned to
the DMM.
Note To avoid modifying existing applications that use a Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) device
number, change the assigned NI-DAQmx device name. To change an NI-DAQmx device name,
right-click the DMM, select Rename, and enter the Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) device number
used in your application. For more information about device naming conventions, refer to the
niDMM Initialize or niDMM_init topic in the NI Digital Multimeters Help located at Start»All
Programs»National Instruments»NI-DMM»Documentation»NI Digital Multimeters Help.
5. Perform a self-test on the DMM to verify installation.
•
(NI-DAQmx devices) Right-click the DMM and select Self-Test. If you need help during the

Help»Help Topics»NI-DAQmx»MAX Help for NI-DAQmx.
• (Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) devices) Right-click the DMM, select Properties, and click Test
Resources.
A dialog box appears and indicates whether the DMM passed the test.
