Require Administrator Privileges

NI-488.2 allows administrators to allow non-administrators to make changes to GPIB settings. This is controlled using the Measurement & Automation Explorer Tools»NI-488.2»Require Administrator Privileges... menu. This menu is enabled only if MAX has been run as administrator. In either case, a check next to the menu indicates that GPIB setting changes can be made only when MAX is run as administrator.

To toggle between different modes, complete the following steps:

• Run MAX as administrator.
• In MAX, select Tools»NI-488.2»Require Administrator Privileges... from the menu.
• Enable or disable the requirement in the NI-488.2 Settings dialog box and click the OK button.
