After Resman detects and configures all your VXI/VME devices, you can 
use MAX to view specific information about each device in your system. 
The default MAX view of a VXI system shows the General tab window, 
which contains a summary of key information about each device, including 
its device name, logical address, model name, and other data. For more 
information about MAX, refer to its online help by selecting the 
Help»Help Topics menu.

MAX by right-clicking a device name and selecting Open VISA Session.
