The MAX Configuration Tree

The MAX configuration tree is the leftmost pane of the MAX window. The most important parts of the tree for FieldPoint are My System»Data Neighborhood, My System»Devices and Interfaces, and Remote Systems.

My System»Data Neighborhood shows everything you have configured for use on your system. This includes FieldPoint comm resources, devices, and data items.

My System»Devices and Interfaces shows installed and detected hardware connected directly to the host PC, such as a FieldPoint serial bank connected to a COM port.

Remote Systems shows NI hardware on your network. The FP-1601 and [c]FP-20xx FieldPoint network modules, for example, appear in Remote Systems when you connect them to your network.
