Your SCXI chassis and SCXI module(s) should now be configured
properly. If your configuration is complete, test the system as described in
the Self-Test Verification section to ensure that your SCXI system is
communicating properly with the device.
Self-Test Verification
To test the successful configuration of your system, complete the following
steps:
1. Double-click the Measurement & Automation Explorer icon on
your PC desktop:
2. Verify that the chassis power is on and that the chassis is correctly
connected to a DAQ device or computer-based instrument.
3. Display the list of devices and interfaces by clicking the + next to
Devices and Interfaces.
4. From the list that appears, locate the chassis you want to test.
Right-click on the chassis and select Test.
5. If the communication test is successful, a message The chassis has
been verified appears. Click OK. If the communication test is
unsuccessful, refer to the Troubleshooting Self-Test Verification
section.
Your SCXI system should now operate properly with your ADE software.
If you experience problems between your SCXI system and your ADE,
refer to the Troubleshooting Self-Test Verification section. Additionally,
you may find it helpful to refer to your NI-SWITCH documentation, your
ADE software documentation, and your chassis documentation. National
