a different chassis. Improperly secured devices may affect the 
accuracy of device specifications.

6. Before operating the device, install all filler panels. Missing filler panels 

disrupt the necessary air circulation in the PC.

7. Replace the PC cover.

8. Plug in and power on the PC.

Inspect the onboard fan on a regular basis to prevent fan and air circulation 
path blockage. Cleaning frequency depends on the amount of use and the 
operating environment.

To configure and test the NI digital waveform generator/analyzer in MAX, 
complete the following steps:

1. Launch MAX to configure and test the digital waveform 

generator/analyzer. MAX should automatically detect the device you 
installed.

2. Expand Devices and Interfaces.

If you are using an NI digital waveform generator/analyzer with the 
LabVIEW Real-Time Module, expand Remote Systems. Find your 
target IP address or name, expand it, and then expand Devices and 
Interfaces.

3. Expand NI-DAQmx Devices.

4. Check that your device appears under NI-DAQmx Devices.

If your device does not appear under NI-DAQmx Devices, 

MAX did not detect the device, so you might need to refresh MAX 
by selecting File»Refresh from the MAX menu or pressing <F5>.

5. You can perform a self-test on devices listed under NI-DAQmx Devices. 

The self-test ensures that the device is installed correctly and can 
communicate with NI-HSDIO. To perform a self-test, complete the 
following steps:

a. Right-click the device you want to test and select Self-Test, shown 

in Figure 3.
