Configuring the PXIe-4464 in MAX

Use Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to configure your NI hardware. MAX informs other programs about which devices reside in the system and how they are configured. MAX is automatically installed with NI-DAQmx.

  1. Launch MAX.
  2. In the Configuration pane, expand Devices and Interfaces to see a list of installed devices. Installed devices appear under the name of their associated chassis.
    Note If you are using the PXIe-4464 with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module, expand Remote Systems. Find your target IP address or name, expand it, and then expand Devices and Interfaces.
  3. Expand your Chassis tree item. MAX lists all devices installed in the chassis. Your default device names may vary.
    Note If you do not see your hardware listed, press <F5> to refresh the list of installed devices. If the device still is not listed, power off the system, ensure the device is correctly installed, and restart.
  4. Record the device identifier MAX uses to identify the hardware. Use this identifier when programming the PXIe-4464.
