WhydoesmyPCI/PXIserialcarddisplaythe
wrongserialnumber?
IfyouswaponePCI/PXIserialcardforanotheroftheexactsametype,
theserialnumbershowninthedevicemanagerandMAXmaynot
change.ThishappensbecauseWindowscannotdistinguishtheold
hardwarefromthenew.Tofixthisproblem,deletetheinterfacefromthe
systemandeitherscanfornewhardwareinthedevicemanageror
restartyourcomputer.ThisforcesWindowstoreinstallyourhardware,
andthecorrectserialnumbershouldbedisplayed.
