XNET Device Firmware Update

For PXI Express devices and C Series modules, the firmware is not updated automatically when you open an XNET session. The right pane in NI MAX displays the firmware status.

If the firmware on the XNET device does not match the version the XNET software expects, a yellow warning is displayed on the device icon, and a message is displayed in the right pane, as shown below. In this case, you can use the Update Firmware button to apply the proper firmware version to the device.
