Capabilities of MAX for NI-DAQmx

You can use MAX for the following measurement configuration actions:

• Configuring resources and other device-specific settings for measurement devices in the system
• Testing the resources and the functionality of measurement devices in the system

When you run an application using NI-DAQ software, the software reads the configuration to determine the devices you have configured. Therefore, you first must configure DAQ devices with MAX. If MAX cannot detect the device, use the Device Manager to add a new device.

In NI-DAQmx, you can use the DAQ Assistant to configure and edit tasks, channels, and scales. Virtual channel configuration is required in NI-DAQmx.
