NI 8171 Series User Manual

I can’t change the display on the NI 8171 series controller from
640

× 480 to 800 × 600. What’s wrong?

If you are using a PXI-1020 or PXI-1025 chassis, the integrated LCD limits
the maximum resolution displayed.

If you are not using a PXI-1020 or PXI-1025 chassis, be sure the video
driver is installed. If it is not, see the

Drivers.txt

file on the hard drive

or recovery CD-ROM.

What if there is a power loss during a BIOS update?

Create a crisis recovery disk. Unzip

crisis.zip

on the recovery CD.

Insert a blank floppy disk in the PC. Run

crisis.exe

(or

Wincrisis.exe

in Windows). Follow the instructions to create the BIOS

recovery floppy disk. Insert the disk in the NI 8175 or NI 8176 floppy drive
and power on the controller. The controller installs the BIOS from the disk.
