Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) is a tool to manage various NI components. One use is to configure a GPIB interface and then find instruments on the GPIB bus.
MAX can manage:
- Interchangeable Virtual Instruments (IVIs)
- Instrument interface controllers (e.g., GPIB)
- Instrument connections (VISA, Ethernet, VXI)
Tips and tricks
- Use device aliases in the Measurement & Automation Explorer to make them easier to maintain.
- Drag a VISA resource name from the Measurement & Automation Explorer to the front panel or block diagram of a VI to quickly create a matching control or constant, respectively.
