Step 13. Test the Chassis
1. Expand Devices and Interfaces»NI-DAQmx Devices.
2. Right-click the name of the chassis to test.

recognized.
To test the successful installation of each module, right-click the module you want to test and click Test

properly. Close the test panel.
Test NI-DAQmx applications without installing hardware using NI-DAQmx simulated SCXI chassis
and modules. Refer to the Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for NI-DAQmx by selecting
Help»Help Topics»NI-DAQmx for instructions on creating NI-DAQmx simulated devices and
importing NI-DAQmx simulated device configurations to physical devices.
If the previous self-test did not verify that the chassis is properly configured and working, check the
following to troubleshoot the SCXI configuration:
• If the Verify SCXI Chassis message box opens showing the SCXI chassis model number, Chassis
ID: x, and one or more messages stating
SCXI-XXXX or 1600, hardware in chassis is: Empty
troubleshooting actions:
– Make sure the SCXI chassis is powered on.
– Make sure all SCXI modules are properly installed in the chassis as previously described.
– Make sure the USB cable between the SCXI-1600 and the computer is properly connected.
• After checking the preceding items, retest the SCXI chassis.
• If the SCXI-1600 is not detected, complete the following steps:
1. Press <F5> to refresh MAX.
2. Verify that the SCXI-1600 Ready LED is bright green. If the LED is not bright green, power
off the chassis, wait five seconds, and power on the chassis.
If these steps do not successfully configure the SCXI system, contact NI. Refer to the Technical Support
Information document for contact information.
