PXI Express System Configuration with MAX

The PXI Platform Services software included with your chassis automatically identifies your PXI Express system components to generate a pxiesys.ini file. You can configure your entire PXI system and identify PXI-1 chassis through Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), included with your system controller. PXI Platform Services creates the pxiesys.ini and pxisys.ini file, which define your PXI system parameters.

Note The configuration steps for single or multiple-chassis systems are the same.

MAX provides the following chassis information:

  • Asset information, such as serial number or part number
  • Chassis number
  • Voltages, temperatures, and fan speed
  • Fan and cooling settings
  • Slot details
  • Chassis self-test
  • Firmware update
Note Information available through MAX may vary based on your chassis variant or firmware and platform services version.
