Step 12. Configure the Chassis and Modules
If you are configuring a chassis with an SCXI-1600, right-click the chassis, select Properties, and skip
to step 6 of this section. The SCXI-1600 auto-detects all other modules.
Complete the following steps as shown in the figures. Numbered callouts in the figures correspond to
the step numbers.
1. Select the DAQ device cabled to the communicating SCXI module from Chassis Communicator.
If MAX detects only one DAQ device, the device is chosen by default, and this option is disabled.
2. Select the module slot connected to the chassis communicator from Communicating SCXI
Module Slot.
3. Enter the chassis address setting in Chassis Address. Make sure the setting matches the address
setting on the SCXI chassis.
4. Select whether to auto-detect SCXI modules. If you do not auto-detect modules, MAX disables
Communicating SCXI Module Slot.
Caution Auto-detection toggles the digital I/O (DIO) lines and might place connected devices in an
unknown or undesirable state. Disconnect any devices for which auto-detection could present
problems.
5. Click Save. The SCXI Chassis Configuration window opens. The Modules tab is selected by
default.
6. If you did not auto-detect modules, select an SCXI module from the Module Array listbox. Be
sure to specify the module in the correct slot.
