restore them to the

TBL

subdirectory of your NI-VXI directory before

running MAX.

Note

If you save and restore the TBL files from an older version of NI-VXI, the software

will use TBL files that do not have the latest updates from National Instruments and may
not include recent hardware releases. If you added additional manufacturer or model names
to your TBL files, we recommend merging those changes with the latest updates included
with this version of NI-VXI, so that all your devices are properly identified.

Configuring the Hardware (Optional)

This section contains basic information about configuring your VXI-USB
hardware. Because the default settings for your VXI-USB hardware are
acceptable for most typical applications, this section is optional.

Refer to Appendix B,

Default Settings

, for a complete listing of the

hardware and software default settings.

Use Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to change any
VXI-USB configuration settings. You can also use MAX to check for
software updates, including updates that may be available for the VXI-USB
firmware. Figure 2-1 shows the firmware update panel.
