Before Getting Started with the FieldPoint VIs

You must configure FieldPoint network modules in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) before using any of the FieldPoint virtual instruments (VIs) in LabVIEW. MAX stores all configuration information for the FieldPoint network and I/O modules in a configuration file (.iak) on your computer. For information about configuring FieldPoint network modules in MAX, refer to the Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for FieldPoint (Start»Programs»National Instruments»FieldPoint»FieldPoint Help).
