Capabilities of MAX for NI-DAQmx

You can use MAX for the following measurement configuration actions:

• Configuring resources and other device-specific settings for DAQ devices in your system
• Testing the resources and the functionality of DAQ devices in your system
• Configuring channels, scales, and tasks using the DAQ Assistant
• Creating and configuring NI-DAQmx simulated devices

When you run an application using NI-DAQ, the software reads the configuration to determine the devices you configured. Therefore, you must configure DAQ devices first with MAX. Refer to Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for NI-DAQmx for more information about configuring and testing DAQ devices.
