Step 13. Configure the Chassis and Modules
The configuration process differs depending on the NI-DAQ API you are
using to control the chassis and modules—NI-DAQmx or Traditional
NI-DAQ (Legacy).
Configure the Chassis and Modules in NI-DAQmx
Note If you are configuring a chassis with an SCXI-1600, right-click the chassis, select
Properties, and skip to step 6 of this section. The SCXI-1600 auto-detects all other
modules.
Complete the following steps as shown in the figures.
1. Select the DAQ device cabled to the communicating SCXI module
from Chassis Communicator. If MAX detects only one DAQ device,
the device is chosen by default, and this option is disabled.
2. Select the module slot connected to the chassis communicator from
Communicating SCXI Module Slot.
3. Enter the chassis address setting in Chassis Address. Make sure the
setting matches the address setting on the SCXI chassis.
4. Select whether to auto-detect SCXI modules. If you do not auto-detect
modules, MAX disables Communicating SCXI Module Slot.
Caution Auto-detection toggles the DIO lines and might place connected devices in an
unknown or undesirable state. Disconnect any devices for which auto-detection could
present problems.
5. Click Save. The SCXI Chassis Configuration window opens. The
Modules tab is selected by default.
