Instruments Measurement and Automation Explorer (NI MAX).

communicate with the XG. This is for demonstration purposes only. Any
software that is capable of addressing a serial device and sending and receiving
text could be used in its place.
Boot up NI MAX and click the Serial & Parallel section. You
should be able to see the port # from which you referenced the
Device Manager earlier. Verify the settings are the same as above
