Configuring Your VXI-DAQ Module with NI-DAQ
The NI-DAQ Configuration Utility identifies your VXI-DAQ module and
configures its various operating settings. When using a VXIpc-740,
VXIpc-850, VXIpc-860, or PCI-MXI-2, the NI-DAQ Configuration
Utility automatically detects the VXI-DAQ modules installed in your
system. For the configuration utility to automatically detect modules, you
must have the modules installed in your VXIbus chassis, and you must
have run the Resource Manager,
RESMAN, before starting the NI-DAQ
configuration utility.
